What test is SIM agar used for?
hydrogen sulfide production
Describe SIM agar, including
what it tests for
complex or chemically defined
selective, differential, or both
main differential component
Enzyme of pathway product
positive control
negative control
sulfide production, indole, motility
complex
differential
ferrous ammonium sulfate
cytseine desulfhydrase enzume breaks down cysteine into sulfide or create during anaerobic respiration
pos: black color; Proteus vulgaris
neg: no black color; Enterococcus faecalis but motile, Enterobacter aerogenes not motile
Describe LDC broth, including
what it tests for
complex or chemically defined
selective, differential, or both
main differential component
Enzyme of pathway product
positive control
negative control
lysine decarboxylase enzyme; breakdown of amino acids
complex
differential
pH indicator bromocresol purple, ph>6.8
lysine decarboxylase breakdown of lyseine
positive control: dark purple LDC, yellow DC; Enterobacter aerogenes
negative control: no color change anything different than purple LDC and yellow DC; Enterococcus faecalis
Describe the test for phenylaline deamination, including
- what deanimation is
what kind of substance the broth is
the process
positive results
negative results
removal of NH3+ from a molecule by phenylalanine deaminase enzyme
Buffered single substance, phenylalanine tablet added
phenylalamine broken down by PDA enzyme into phenyl pyruvic acid and NH3
positive: bright green; Proteus vulgaris
negative: no color change Enterococcus faecalis
Descibe the the urease test including
the enzyme
the process
main differential indicator
positive results
negative results
urease to break down urea into ammonia and CO2
urease breaks down urea into NH3 and CO2, increasing the pH
phenol red
pos: hot pink
neg: yellow (no color change)
What are the positive and negative controls and organisms for LDC broth?
pos: dark purple in LDC, yellow in DC; Enterobacter aerogenes
neg: anything else; Enterococcus faecalis
What are the positive and negative controls for phenylalanine deamination?
pos: bright green; Proteus vulgaris
neg: no color change; Enterococcus faecalis
What are the positive and negative controls for the urease test?
pos: pink, Proteus vulgaris
neg: no color change, Enterococcus faecalis
What are the positive and negative controls for the SIM agar test?
pos: black color; Proteus vulgaris
neg: no black color; Enterococcus faecalis but motile, Enterobacter aerogenes not motile
