Best Answer

Citrate Permease is an enzyme that is responsible for transporting citrate inside the cell. Some bacteria have this enzyme while others do not. You can test for the presence of citrate permease by performing a Simmon's Citrate biochemical test.

Can shigella sonnei be a lactose non fermenter My tests are as followed TSI KA Methyl red VP - citrate - urea - NO3 degraded to NO2 H2S - motility -. all points to shigella but it's nonferm?

S.sonnei is not a true lactose fermenting bacteria (see.. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=271578&blobtype=pdf)But is a delayed lactose fermenter as it does not have the enzyme permease to transport lactose through its cell wall.However an ONPG lactose fermenting test does not require permease to allow the bacterium to ferment lactose so in an ONPG test the shigella sonnei will appear as lactose fermenting positive.Hope this helps!!2nd year BMS student

If an organism is able to convert the sodium citrate?

Citrate, a Krebs cycle (i.e., TCA cycle or citric acid cycle) intermediate, is generated by many bacteria; however, utilization of exogenous citrate requires the presence of citrate transport proteins (permeases). Upon uptake by the cell, citrate is cleaved by citrate lyase to oxaloacetate and acetate. The oxaloacetate is then metabolized to pyruvate and CO2.
