Amino Acid Enzymes • Enzymes that attack Amino Acids 1. Cysteine desulfhydrase 2. Lysine decarboxylase 3. Phenylalanine deaminase
Amino Acid Enzymes Cysteine desulfhydrase Cysteine Hydrogen Sulfide + ammonia + Pyruvic acid
Peptone Iron Agar Deeps • Peptone – protein rich in cysteine • Iron - Fe
Cysteinedesulfhydrase Cysteine Hydrogen Sulfide + ammonia + Pyruvicacid H2S Fe (Iron) FeS (Ferrous Sulfide) Black
Amino Acid Enzymes Lysine decarboxylase Lysine Cadaverine + Carbon dioxide
Lysine Decarboxlyase Broth • Lysine • Fermentable sugar • ph indicator • Basic = purple • Acid = Yellow • Durham Tube • Mineral Oil on top after inoculation • (maintain an Anaerobic environment)
Amino Acid Enzymes Phenylalanine deaminase Phenylalanine Phenylpyruvic acid + ammonia
Phenylalanine deaminase Phenylalanine Phenylpyruvic acid + ammonia FeCl2 (Ferric Chloride) HCl Green
