Are all aerobic bacteria oxidase positive?
yes, all aerobic cells are oxidase positive. The oxidase test is testing for the presence of cytochrome oxidase [by reducing it with an artificial substrate which turns purple when oxidised]. In aerobic cells cytochrome oxidase's normal role is in the electron transport chain, passing electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. hence if the cell is aerobic then oxygen is terminal electron acceptor in the cells ETC and thus it will give a positive result in the oxidase test.

Is sinemet an maoi drug?
No. Sinemet is a combination of a prodrug (levodopa, which is converted in the body to dopamine) and an inhibitor that prevents the conversion (the enzyme it inhibits is DOPA decarboxylase; MAOI drugs inhibit monoamine oxidase). The inhibitor is highly polar and cannot pass the blood-brain barrier, so it inhibits the conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the body generally, but allows conversion within the brain. This is done because high levels of dopamine outside the brain can result in nausea and vomiting.
