This is a bit tricky. Both Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are Gram-negative and rod-shaped. According to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Proteus vulgaris tests positive for sulfur reduction, urease production, tryptophan deaminase production, and indole production. Pseudomonas aeruginosa reduces sulfur and nitrate, and has a characteristic green color. The API 20E Identification System is a test strip that can be used to identify Proteus vulgaris versus other bacteria.An even easier way to test this is the gelatinase test.Or, slant the bacteria on a Triple Sugar Iron slant or place them in a SIM agar deep. P. vulgaris tests positive for Hydrogen Sulfide production, changing the media to a black color around the organism, while P. aeruginosa does not produce Hydrogen Sulfide.
B. subtilis does not ferment glucose nor lactose
Alcohol Fermentation Glucose --> ATP+CO2+Alcohol Lactic Acid Fermentation Glucose --> ATP+Lactic Acid
The higher concentartion of glucose means a slower rate of reaction for fermentation.
in the absence of glucose or lactose , some bacteria are able to use citrate as only source of carcon. alkaline pH change the bromothymol blue indicator from green to blue. pseudomonas can not ferment the glucose and the lactose so it use the citrate as carbon source.
Cellular respiration produces water but fermentation does not.Respiration: glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water Fermentation: glucose --> alcohol + carbon dioxide
Lots of bacteria ferment glucose! Anaerobes ferment it and also facultative anaerobes. One type is E. coli...
Glucose and water
Cellular respiration produces water but fermentation does not.Respiration: glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water Fermentation: glucose --> alcohol + carbon dioxide
There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation. The reactant for both is glucose, C6H12O6.
