Question
Answer
amylase   enzyme that breaks down starch (carb catabolism)  
🗑
DNAse   enzyme that breaks down DNA (nucleic acid catabolism)  
🗑
Protease   enzyme that breaks down protein (protein catabolism)  
🗑
Lipase   enzyme that breaks down triglycerides (fat catabolism)  
🗑
oxidation-fermentation (O-F)   pathways for glucose catabolism  
🗑
Catalase   breaks down hydrogen peroxide (respiratory catabolism)  
🗑
cytochrome oxidase   electron transport protein (respiratory metabolism)  
🗑
metabolism   biochemical reactions that power the cell by digesting foods  
🗑
catabolic   the part of metabolism that involves breaking down/digesting foods and extracting their chemical energy  
🗑
anabolic reactions   the building up of molecules to make chemicals the cell needs  
🗑
metabolic reactions are performed by _______.   enzymes  
🗑
true or false: you can use enymes to identify certain bacterial species   true  
🗑
true or false: enymes used for digestion produce an acid that is easily detected by a pH indicator in the medium.   true  
🗑
fermentation   fermentation of sugars is an anaerobic process, so fermenters can grow without oxygen (in glucose tubes= fermenters will produce acid in aerobic and anaerobic tubes)  
🗑
facultative anaerobes   don't require oxygen to grow but can grow in the presence of oxygen  
🗑
oxidizers   aerobic bacteria that produce acid from sugars by oxidative pathways; in glucose tube=oxidizer will produce acid in aerobic tube, but not in anaerobic tube  
🗑
non-oxidizers   bacteria that don't produce any acid at all (in glucose tubes=will not produce acid in aerobic nor anaerobic tubes)  
🗑
caseinase   a protease enzyme that breaks down the casein in milk  
🗑
O-F tube inoculation   stab each with a loop that has bacteria, put a few drops of mineral oil in one tube so oxygen can't get in.  
🗑
Catalaze test   put a drop of hydrogen peroxide on a clean SLIDE. poke bacteria with stick and twist stick in the drop of hydrogen peroxide. bubbles mean positive (mark as +). a few bubbles means weak positive (mark as +w). no bubbles means negative (mark as -)  
🗑
catalyze test substrate, enzyme, products   substrate= hydrogen peroxide. enzyme= catalaze. products= water, oxygen  
🗑
cytochrome oxidase test   poke a stick onto bacteria (won't work with broth cultures). press stick into filter paper strip (paper is impregnated with an oxidase agent). dark purple=positive. lavender= negative. no color=negative  
🗑
Amylaze test   [polysaccharide]starch agar plate. if there is a clearing (halo)around the colony, then the bacteria is positive for amylaze  
🗑
amylaze substrate, enzyme, products   substrate=polysaccharide starch. enzyme= amylaze. product= monosaccharide glucose  
🗑
DNAse test (blue plate)   DNA agar plate contains DNA. positive=halo; negative=no halo  
🗑
DNAse substrate, enzyme, product   substrate=nucleic acid DNA. enzyme=DNAse product=nucleotides, deoxyribonucleotides.  
🗑
lipase test   tributyrin (a simple triglyceride) agar plate. hydrolyzes tributyrin into glycerol, fatty acids. obvious halo=positive for lipase. hazy/opaque around colony=negative.  
🗑
lipase substrate, enzyme, product   substrate= tributyrin. enzyme= lipase. product= glycerol, fatty acids.  
🗑
caseinase (protease) test   skim milk agar plate. caseinase hydrolizes casein. halo=positive. no halo=negative.  
🗑
caseinase substrate, enzyme, product   substrate= casein protein in the milk. enzyme= caseinase/protease. products= small peptides and amino acids.  
🗑
O-F tube test   2 glucose tubes (green) stabbed by loaded loop, on has drops of mineral oil on top.  
🗑
O-F tubes, both yellow (acid)   fermentative[anaerobic] bacteria fermintative can produce acid with or without oxygen present. mark as O-F.(or F)  
🗑
O-F tubes, aerobic tube yellow (acid), anaerobic tube blue/green   aerobic bacteria, oxidized sugar. mark as O.  
🗑
O-F tubes, both still blue/green [aerobic tube may have turned blue at top from alkaline products]   no sugar metabolism, non-oxidizer bacteria. Mark as N-O.  
🗑
O-F tubes, both slightly yellow at top   slow fermentative [slow anaerobic] bacteria, maybe also oxidative [aerobic] bacteria. so slow fermentation of sugar and maybe also oxidation of sugar occurred. mark as O-F. (or F)  
🗑
   
🗑
