Why is an oxidase test performed on a culture before using API 20E and Enterotube II to identify the culture?
API 20E and Enterotube II are for the identification of oxidase- negative bacteria. If the oxidase test is positive, these two methods of identification would be useless.
How do you isolate and identify gram positive cocci?
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. How would a person stain cocci? What makes cocci gram positive? Or how would a person g How does a person contract gram cocci
What advantages would a coccus shape have over a rod shape for survival in air?
the davantage is the surface area to volume ratio of its morphology
What is the first step in identifying bacteria?
There are many ways to identify an unknown bacteria. The method to identify depends on tools available and setting. A medical setting has different identification process than an educational setting. Both places would usually begin with a gram stain. A gram positive bacteria would appear purple under a microscope, whereas gram negative would appear orange. Another way to identify bacteria would be to choose different agar plates to grow the bacteria. The presence of bacterial growth on different media helps to identify the unknown bacteria.
Can an AB positive blood type and a o positive blood type a produce an o positive child?
No, because the domonite blood type would be AB positive. So you would most likely get a baby that is AB positive.

What are sphere shaped bacteria called?
Spherically shaped bacteria are called coccus, or cocci (pl). An example would be Streptococcus.

Will staph grow on EMB agar?
No, it will not. Methylene blue agar is used to identify gram negative bacteria, staphylococcus is gram positive.

If the bigger number is positive and the smaller number is a negative. Would the answer be a negative or a positive?
POSITIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A SMALL NUMBER SO LIKE 16 MINUS -4 IT WOULD BE POSITIVE

Please identify that bird for me...
Aristotle believed that who would identify with the tragic hero if he or she were neither too virtuous nor too evil?
He thought the audience would identify with the hero.So the audience can identify with him or her
Can a coccus survive in a dry environment?
The coccus would be better suited for a dry environment. A sphere has less surface area for the volume, as such, less moisture will be lost by osmosis in a dry environment. In a moist environment, the higher surface area to volume ratio of a rod shaped bacterium will allow greater efficiency in transferring water and solutes into and out of the cell, making it possible for a rod shaped cell to have a higher metabolic rate, all other things being equal.
