| other "tool" in PR broths, what used for? | Durham tube; collects CO2 |
| red upon addition of nitrate A and B | +nitrate reductase, -nitrite reductase |
| colorless upon addition of nitrate A and B | inconclusive |
| red upon addition of nitrate A and B + zinc | - for both nitrate and nitrite reductase |
| colorless upon addition of nitrate A and B + zinc | + for both nitrate and nitrite reductase |
| false negative for PR carbohydrate broths | if incubated too long, will metabolize peptone/beef extract |
| macconkey agar selective components | bile salts and crystal violet |
| macconkey agar selects for | gram negative rods |
| macconkey tests for | lactose fermentation |
| lactose + (macconkey) | red (or pink b/c of precipitated bile salts) |
| lactose - (macconkey) | colorless colonies |
| PEA agar | INHIBITS gram negative, selects for gram positive |
| PEA stands for | phenylethyl alcohol |

| alpha hemolysis | incomplete hemolysis (beige-ish color) |
| gamma hemolysis | no hemolysis |
| pseudosel agar | selects for Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
| pseudomonas agar F contains | magnesium and potassium to enhance fluorescein production |
| pseudomonas agar F differentiates b/w | pseudomonas species- P. fluorescein makes the most fluorescein |
| IMViC test stands for | indole, methyl red, voges-proskauer, citrate |
| indole test | tryptophanase enzyme |
| what is added to indole test? why? | Kovac's reagent, reacts with indole to make a red ring |
| methyl red/ voges-proskauer tests | glucose fermentation makes mixed acids or diacetyl/2,3 butanediol *what pyruvate is broken down into |
| what is added to MRVP broth? | Barrit's B and Barrit's A for VP broth part; methyl red for MR part |
| gram negative glucose fermenter rod MRVP assumption | if MR +, then VP- & vice versa |
| gram positive glucose fermenter MRVP | can be + for both |
| urease test positive | hot pink slant (alkaline) |
| urease yellow slant | negative, but ferments glucose |
| urease no color change | negative and does not ferment glucose |
| LDC/ODC stand for | lysine/ornithine decarboxylase |
| LDC/ODC indicator; what do colors mean? | bromocresol purple (purple at high pH, yellow at low pH) |
| what is added to LDC/ODC? | mineral oil |
| for LDC/ODC to work, bacteria must ___ | ferment glucose |
| positive LDC/ODC | TURBID, purple broth |
| negative LDC/ODC | clear purple broth or yellow broth |
| KIA tests for | lactose fermentation (1x as much), glucose fermentation, H2S/CO2 production |
| KIA red butt | negative glucose fermentation |
| KIA yellow butt | positive glucose fermentation |
| KIA black butt | + H2S and glucose fermentation |
| KIA red slant | negative lactose fermentation |
| KIA yellow slant | positive lactose fermentation |
