What metabolic property characterizes bacteria that possess oxidase activity?
Respiratory and fermentative
Compare the stability of oxidase and peroxidase to heat?
Peroxidase is more stable than oxidase, very heat stable. the heat stability is apparent from the fact that if the enzyme is 83 degrees celsius, half the original activity remains after 32 minutes. peroxidases are known to self-regenerate due to reversible degeneration.

Can an aerobic organsm be oxidase negative?
No, the aerobic organism cannot be oxidase negative. This is because the aerobic organisms use oxygen as the electron acceptor. The aerobic organism are therefore oxidase positive.
Why are strict aerobes oxidase positive?
Strict aerobes must be oxidase positive because oxidase is an enzyme. It is critical to cellular respiration, specifically the final reduction of oxygen in the electron transport chain.
What Two genera that are oxidase positive?
Neisseria, Alcaligenes, Moraxella, and Pseudomonadaceae are genera of oxidase positive microorganisms.
Is the media for oxidase test selective or differential?
media used for oxidase test is non selective media
Why are strict aerobic oxidase-positive?
