| Bile Esculin Agar | Used for Enterococci. Distinguishes from streptococci. HYDROLYSIS OF (SUGAR) ESCULIN TO ESCULATIN.The by-products of esculin hydrolysis react with iron in the media, turning it black. A postive result includes growth AND blackening.
🗑

| Superoxol | Definitive for N. gonorrheae
Same as catalase test but higher concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide
🗑

| Lecithinase | Breaks down phospholipids into diglycerides. C. perfringens grows on this EYA.
🗑
|
||||
| Lipase | Enzyme degrades triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids. Uses tributyrin (lipase agar)
🗑
|
||||
| Starch Hydrolysis | Measures the production of amylase. Amylase degrades the starches into glucose for use in metabolism. Iodine reacts with starch to turn black. If amylase is produced, there is no colored zone around colony
🗑
|

| Indole | Ability to use tryptophan. Indole-> pyruvic acid-> ammonia. Adding Kovac's reagent = red
