Symptoms of the disease included nausea, vomiting, cramping and a fever. All the patients recovered within 24 hrs. Two “serotypes” of a Gram positive, o...

Pre Lab Assignment 4 Phenol Red Broth, MRVP, Nitrate Reduction, Cat, Ox

PEA 1. When examining a PEA plate that has been inoculated with organism and incubated for 24 hrs, we noticed that the organism is growing well. What does this tell us about the organism’s cell wall?  The organism’s cell wall was not inhibited by the phenylethyl alcohol. Also, the organism most likely has a thick peptidoglycan layer that causes the cell wall to stay intact; having a thick peptidoglycan layer would make the organism a Gram positive. 2. What is added to a PEA plate ...

Exercise on Phenol Red Broth Analyze the test tubes blow and answer the following three questions: 1 2 3 4 5 1. The PR sucrose tube (#2) was yellow in color after inoculating them with an organism and incubating for 24 hrs. What is your analysis/interpretation of these results (yellow color)?  My analysis/interpretation is that there was fermentation with acid end products; also, there was no gas produced. 2.
