each sample of bacteria was subjected to a series of tests for identification. One bacterium was gram negative. It underwent four different tests. These tests were the EMB test (Eosin Mehylene Blue), the Sulfur Indole Motility (SIM) test, the Urease test, and the Simmon’s Citrate Utilization test. The EMB test checks for a bacteria’s ability to ferment lactose. This test is accomplished by placing the bacteria on Eosin Methylene Blue agar. The agar is selective for gram negative bacteria and
General Information about Urease Urease is an enzyme found abundantly within organisms such as plants, fungi, bacteria, invertebrates, and is also present within the soil. Its function is to convert the organic compound urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Within animals, urea is excreted as a waste compound through the metabolism of nitrogen-containing substances; urease is therefore not required within animals. For organisms such as plants, fungi, bacteria etc., urea serves as a source of nitrogen
The urease hydrolysis test was used to detect the production of urease and ultimately ammonia which urease produces. The urease test was conducted by inoculating the slant of the agar. If urease was produced it would hydrolyse urea and create ammonia which would increase the pH and turn the agar hot pink. Therefore, a positive urease test would have a color change to hot pink agar, whereas a negative urease test would have no color change and the agar would

The only test that did not match the E. aerogenes identification was the VP test. Possible errors made to not achieve an accurate test could be not waiting a full hour to view the color change or even not using the correct Reagent.

more beneficial. Unit Topic: The unit of study that best relates to this article is unit four. This unit best relates to the article because in the article, the HpUrel channel would open at acidic pH; thus, allowing the flow of urea to cytoplasmic urease.
It was concluded that the two possible bacteria’s unknown 1 could be S. aureus or E. faecals. In order to find unknown 1 bacteria, a urease test will have to be performed, because a urease test is usually positive for some enteric bacteria’s (“Urease Test”, n.d). Therefore, S. aureus will hydrolyze urea making it positive and E. fecalis will not (“Microbiology 20 Biochemical Unknown, 2009). S. aureus is bacteria that is floral, meaning that
found in soils and is a useful nutrient source for bacteria that are able to utilise it, such as, Helicobacter pylori, Klebsiella pneumonia, all species of Proteus and Micrococcus luteus. These bacteria degrade urea in a reaction catalysed by the urease enzyme, CO(NH2)2 + H2O àCO2 + 2NH3. this process benefits the bacteria in several ways. The bacteria use the ammonia that is produced for respiration, the products also raise the pH of the environment. This promotes the growth of many urea degrading
There are numerous types of bacteria that can be found in every environment. Each bacterium has different morphology which includes shape, texture and pigment production. These bacteria also have different food requirements which are important in being able to identify a microorganism. Microorganisms are a diverse group containing all bacteria a single cell prokaryotic organism that is found in every type of environment, archea single cell microorganism that lacks nuclei and almost all microorganisms
In today's medicine, correctly and quickly identifying a patient's illness is essential for proper treatment. In order to execute this, biochemical tests of various magnitudes are used to identify what a patient may be infected with. In our lab, we received an unknown sample of urine. After several biochemical tests, we determined our unknown specimen to be Enterobacter aerogenes. This particular bacterium is gram-negative, with rod shaped morphology. In order to determine whether our specimen
chart provided for the gram-negative isolate. Although the chart indicated that the indole test was not needed to identify the bacteria, it was used to confirm the identity alongside the urease test. As shown in Figure 7 and 9, E.coli have a positive result for the indole test and a negative result for the urease test
different tests to either examine or perform myself; the tests are as follows: Gram Stain; Nutrient Gelatin Test; Carbohydrate Fermentation; Dextrose, Lactose and Sucrose; IMVIC tests; Citrate, Indole, Mythel-Red and Vogues Proskauer test; as well as a Urease and TSI Test. Materials and Methods/Results Upon receiving the unknown Microorganism (M.O.) #16, I prepared a slide by cleaning and drying it. Then, using a bottle of water I placed sterile drop of water on the slide and used an inoculating loop,
Introduction Bacteria are grouped into two categories as Gram positive and Gram negative. The bacteria that retain the color of the primary stain are gram positive and the bacteria that lose the color of primary stain are called gram negative bacteria. Gram positive cells have a thicker peptidoglycan layer and doesn 't contain the outer membrane. Gram positive cells will retain the primary stain of crystal violet because they have a thick outer layer of peptidoglycan that traps the dye among its

medicine, finding cures to combat harmful diseases, such as HIV, can be better developed. Microbiologist Based off of the gram reaction, the tests I chose to do were the Oxidase, Sulfur reduction, Indole Production, Motility(SIM), Citrate Utilization, Urease and Methyl Red and Voges-Proskauer (MRVP) Test. Microscopic Examination: The cell morphology is an important characteristic that helps identify bacteria. The three main shapes of bacterial cells are coccus, bacillus, and
down the gelatin (Exoenzymes). In the urea broth, the Proteus vulgaris broth turned pink and the E. coli did not. This means that the Proteus vulgaris is able to secrete the enzyme urease that breaks down area and forms ammonia making the broth alkaline and pink. Since E. coli did not turn pink, it does not secrete urease. Both E. coli and Lactococcus lactis had blue rings formed during the oxidize test meaning that cytochrome C is present in both. There was no bubbling of either E. coli and Lactococcus
• Urease: The highly acidic peptic environment make it almost impossible for any organism to exist, but thanks to the ability of H.Pylori to produce the enzyme Urease, H.Pylori can thrive in the stomach. Urease has the ability raises the surrounding pH throughout converts urea to ammonia plus carbon dioxide, raising the pH of the surrounding area. Which can lead to mild protection against gastric acid. • Shape and flagella: Gastric pH still high for the bacteria to survive for a long time, comes
Krebs cycle through the use of oxaloacetate. One of the steps in the cycle the breakdown of arginine into ornithine and urea, a reaction catalysed by the enzyme arginase. (See below) (Fig 1.0) Arginine Orthinine Urea Urease is the enzyme which catalyses the hydrolysis of urea according to the following equation: (NH2)2CO(aq) + 3H2O(l)  CO2(g) + 2NH3(g) The acidic ammonium carbonate is formed because the carbon dioxide dissolves in water to produce carbonic
by a color change to red on the PYR disc after the addition of the PYR reagent (p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde). Hydrolytic enzymes for which the EI tested negative were urease, gelatinase, and DNAse. In the Urea Hydrolysis test, it was observed that the urea broth did not have a color change, indicating that there was no urease secreted to break down urea in the broth. Similarly, there was no gelatinase present to break down gelatin in the Gelatin Hydrolysis test, so the nutrient gelatin remained
enterobacteriaceae. It is a non-spore forming, gram-negative coccobacilli that, when grown on agar, forms pin-point white/translucent colonies. Defining qualities of the Y. pestis are it’s bipolar staining, it’s negative test results for lactose fermentation, urease, and indole production, and positive testing for catalase. This pleomorphic bacterium is facultatively aerobic with an optimal growth temperature at 28 degrees Celsius. At temperatures above 37 degrees Celsius, it appears the Y. pestis is non-motile
The Applications of Enzymes in Medicine Enzymes are biological catalysts which speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy (the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to take place). Enzymes are proteins which have a tertiary structure and they are very specific- only the correct substrate can combine with the active site of the correct enzyme, thereby producing an enzyme substrate complex. “They are also highly specific, which means fewer unwanted side-effects
