Given that the two species of swarming gram negative bacilli are Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis, one must find the tests that differentiate these two organisms. Referencing the Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology by Mahon, Lehman, and Manuselis, I've found the two major differences are their reactions to citrate and sucrose.

One can use automation or strip testing to discover the organisms reactions to these substances.

Does proteus vulgaris grow on macconkey agar plate?

It can, but due to the high agar content of MacConkey agar the swarming is slow and restricted. So it is usually quite easy to select non-Proteus colonies for sub-culture if done within 24 hours of incubation.


Is a fiery searcher beetle a herbivore omnivore or carnivore?

Omnivore, I believe. I haven't seen them in the process of doing it, but they are also known as the "caterpillar hunter." What I have seen is large multiples of them swarming fig trees and eating up these fruits. The one I found recently however is rejecting the peaches and plums I have in my fridge so my guess is they are specialists over the meats/plants they consume


What are the acceptable methods for thawing foods?

The best way to defrost a turkey is in the refrigerator. It takes approximately one day for every five pounds of turkey. Therefore, if you have a twenty pound turkey, it will take four days to defrost.

What factors may affect an areas biodiversity?

Well, as it is for butterflies, they are highly attracted to certain kinds of bushes. For example .... The Butterfly Bush. Butterflies are constantly swarming this kind of bush. Believe me, we used to have one in our front yard, and catching butterflies was one of my favorite things to do. Anyway, having a large amount of these type of bushes and not any other necessary supplements for butterflies may cause them to live and breed within only areas with these bushes. About other insects, I'm not quite sure. I do know that the cicadas are commonly found near wood. Not having a large amount of trees, wood fences, etc. in a certain area would most likely keep the cicadas away. They would eventually migrate to a more suitable area.
