What is the function of urease?
Hydrolysis of urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia is catalyzed by the enzyme urease.
What is difference between process and mechanism?
process is process and mechanism is mechanism.
What is the mechanism for the aldol condesation reaction of acetone and p-anisaldehyde?
Write a reaction mechanism for cinnamaldehyde and acetone
What is reaction mechanism of uric acid and ascorbic acid?
give structure of reaction mechanism of uric acid
What mechanism is involved in the reduction of Benzophenone to Diphenylmethanone?
This is a reduction mechanism and can be done using Zinc Dust or Sodium Borohydride
What is the color of urease agar when inoculated with an urease negative organism?
The agar slant will remain the original color (yellow). However, most labs use the broth.Two media types are commonly used to detect urease activity. Christensen’s urea agar is used to detect urease activity in a variety of microorganisms. Stuart’s urea broth is used primarily for the differentiation of Proteus species.
What is an explanation of mechanism of fluidization?
mechanism of fluidized bed
What is urease test in microbiology?
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.
Does E.coli produce urease?
No, E. coli is urease-negative
Is streptococcus salivarius positive for urease?
No. Streptococcus species are not urease positive.
Does proteus vulgaris produce urease?
most definitely. it is a strong positive urease producer.
What does urease positive mean?
Urease positive means that an organism can produce the enzyme urease, which reacts with urea to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. This reaction can be detected by the change in pH of the media, typically turning it pink or red. Urease positivity is often used in microbiology to help identify certain bacterial species.
Urease hydrolyzes urea to form what?
Urease breaks down the compound urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Can you relate urease production to diaper rash in infants?
Can you relate urease production to a diaper rash in infants
Is proteus urease positive?
Proteus urease is considered a positive organisim. This occurs when enterics hydrolyze urea and cause a rapid deterioation. This term is also referred to as rapid urease positive organisms.
What mechanism is responsible for the placement of the Hawaiian Islands?
Volcanic activity.
A urease test is used to identify Myobacterium tuberculosis because Urease is a sign of tuberculosis?
Because M.tuberculosis produces urease. thus indicating a person has the bacteria can cause tuberculosis.
