BI 234 LAB FINAL PCC EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED


What are the shapes of bacteria?

circular, rhizoid, irregular, filamentous, spindle

what are the basic stains (positive)

Crystal violet, Safranin, methylene blue (stains organism)

what are the Acidic stains (negative)

Nigrosine, congo red (background is stained)

what is the goal of a Streak plate

goal is to generate isolated colonies from a mixed culture

what is crystal violet used in

primary stain in gram stain and differential stain; stains the cell purple

what is the purpose of iodine

mordant

what is the purpose of Safranin

counterstain

what color is gram + after staining process

Purple and no outer membrane

what color is gram - after staining process

PINK and has outer membrane wall

mordant

,acts as a fixative, sets dye

endospore stain

A differential stain used to detect the presence and location of spores in bacterial cells.

Use of malachite green, safranin

Structure stains

Used to distinguish parts of cells

Capsule stain

Endospore stain

Flagella stain

Citrate test



What is the byproduct of this test

medium used to determine whether an organisms can utilize citrate as its sole carbon

source. As pH goes up, medium changes from green to blue.

Blue = Positive

Green = Negative



by product is Ammonia.

- converting ammonium phosphate to ammonia

hydrolytic enzymes

enzymes that speed up/aid in the breakdown of chemical bonds through the addition of

water (hydrolysis)

Exoenzymes

, enzymes secreted by microbes that break down and inflict damage on tissues. ex:

amylase, lipase, proteases

Urea Hydrolysis Test

Tests the ability of an organism to produce an exoenzyme, called urease, that

hydrolyzes urea to ammonia. Pink = positive, orange= slow urea hydrolysis, yellow =

negative

Gelatin Hydrolysis Test

used to determine the ability of a microbe to produce gelatinases. Gelatinase-positive

organism will liquefy and gelatinase-negative organism will remain solid. Differentiates

S. aureus from S. epidermidis

SIM Medium Test

Sulfur, Indole, and Motility (Indole production by tryptophanase). Differentiate E. coli

from other enterobacteria.

Lysine Decarboxylase Test

detects enzymatic removal of the carboxyl group from lysine

medium becomes more alkaline causing a pH indicator to change color. Purple =

decarboxylation, yellow= fermentation (no decarboxylation), no color change = no

decarboxylation (brown/orange color)

Phenol Red Test

Differential tests for sugar fermentation and gas production (gram- enteric bacteria). 4

tubes: glucose, lactose, mannitol, sucrose. YELLOW below pH of 6.8 and PINK above

pH 7.4

Durham Tube Sugar Fermentation
