Bacillus cereus is oxidase negative -
The Bacillus genus is usually negative in regards for the Oxidase test.
Some B. cereus produce urease and some do not.
The test should end up being negative.
negative
It is NEGATIVE
When determining the ability of a bacteria to degrade urea by means of the enzyme urease. To diagnose H. pylori and identification of the genus Proteus, Providentia, Kelbsiella, and Morganella by their fast urease activity.
positive
Bacillus Brevis is alfa hemolytic for blood, it does not hydrolyses starch very well, nor urea and is VP negative (That means is MR positive).
Bacillus and Clostridium are both Gram positive, spore forming, bacilli (rods).Bacillus sp. are aerobic.Clostridium sp. are anaerobic.After performing a catalase activity test, Clostridium will be negative and Bacillus will be positive for catalase activity.
bacillus megatarium test positive for sucrose where creus doesnt
Bacillus subtillus will test positive when performing a VP and Citrate test. Also, bacillus cereus is much more motile. It isn't as dependable as the chemical tests, but the cereus colonies will appear wispy and more widespread on an agar plate than those of subtilis.
The easiest way to distinguish one from the other is by performing an amylase test. Bacillus cereus will test positive by displaying a clear zone around the bacteria. Clostridium sporogenes will test negative because it does not produce the exoenzyme amylase. Another way is by performing a catalase test. Bacillus will test positive because it's an aerobe and Clostridium will test negative because it's anaerobic.
The B.cereus has a positive citrate test and a negative Voges Proskauer.
It is NEGATIVE
When determining the ability of a bacteria to degrade urea by means of the enzyme urease. To diagnose H. pylori and identification of the genus Proteus, Providentia, Kelbsiella, and Morganella by their fast urease activity.
Serratia marcesens is an acid fast negative bacillus. It appears blue under the microscope.
positive
Bacillus Brevis is alfa hemolytic for blood, it does not hydrolyses starch very well, nor urea and is VP negative (That means is MR positive).
Because M.tuberculosis produces urease. thus indicating a person has the bacteria can cause tuberculosis.
negative!
