Differentiating among Gram positive bacteria ? coccus (sphere) OR rod cf. page 6A
Observing bacteria using the oil immersion lens: Before you focus, move the stage as high as it will go. Focus first with 10X low power Then focus with 40X high power Then add oil Then make observations with 100X oil immersion
Differentiating among Gram positive bacteria Catalase test Mannitol salt agar Blood agar Endospores
Catalase Test Unlike last time you performed this test, add organism to glass slide and then add H2O2.
Catalase Test bubbles (gas) Distinguishes streptococci from staphylococci. Distinguishes among some Gram positive rods.
Mannitol salt agar Differentiates among staphylococci
Mannitol salt agar Staphylococcus ferments mannitol(yellow) Micrococcus does not ferment mannitol(pink) Differentiates among staphylococci
Blood Agar Plate Reliable test Distinguishes among some streptococci and staphylococci based upon differences in hemolysis (alpha, beta, gamma)
Differentiating among Gram negative bacteria EMB agar Brilliant green agar cf. page 6B Enterotube
Enterotube Inoculate Gramnegative organism ONLY
Enterotube See pages 56 & 57 in your Lab Atlas.
