What color is enterobacter aerogenes?
red
What type of flagella does enterobacter aerogenes have?
Lophotrichous
Can enterobacter aerogenes grow in TSA media?
yes
What color would tsi media be after 48 hours incubation with enterobacter aerogenes?
The color that would TSI media be after 48 hours icubation with enterobacter aerogenes is black.
What are results for a acid-fast test for enterobacter aerogenes?
Enterobacter aerogenes is a non-acid fast bacteria. Bacteria only in the Mycobacteria and Nocardia genus are acid fast.
What carbohydrates can Enterobacter aerogenes ferment?
90% to 100% of Enterobacter aerogenes strains can ferment glucose, sucrose, and lactose. The same percentage of strains produce gas as a byproduct of that fermentation.
What does Enterobacter aerogenes smell like?
Urine after eating asparagus
Does Enterobacter aerogenes ferment sugar?
Enterobacter aerogenes is a Gram-negative, oxidase negative, catalase positive, citrate positive, indole negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is generally found in the human gastrointestinal tract. It is amylase negative.
What is Enterobacter aerogenes cell size in micrometers?
Enterobacter aerogenes are classified as coccobacillus, based on their cellular morphology. They are rod-shaped (bacillus), but short and almost spherical (coccus).
Does enterobacter aerogenes produce red and white colonies in nutrient agar?
white colonies
Is enterobacter aerogenes lipase negative?
Yes it is. You can easily check it out yourself by using a tributyrine based agar. If Enterobacter aerogenes builds a lipase action enzyme, the surrounding of your colonies will be much clearer. If you have any other questions, I suggest you the Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology.
What test will show you the difference between Proteus vulgaris and Morganella morganii?
alpha-glucosidase test: using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (included in chromogenic media), but not using alpha-methyl-glucoside fermentation. Cronobacter (E. sakazakii) are positive for this test and E. aerogenes are negative.
