citrate result is positive in case of pseudomonas aeroginosa. slant and butt both will be positive
Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically shows negative results on a urease test, as it does not produce urease enzyme. This means it does not break down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, resulting in no change in pH and no color change in the test medium.
The positive organism for citrate utilization test is usually Escherichia coli. When this bacterium is able to grow on a citrate-containing medium, it will produce alkaline byproducts that change the pH of the medium, turning it from green to blue. This color change indicates a positive result for citrate utilization.
Yes, Pseudomonas luteola is oxidase-positive, meaning it contains the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase which catalyzes the oxidation of cytochrome C. This can be detected in the laboratory using an oxidase test.
Citrate Permease is an enzyme that is responsible for transporting citrate inside the cell. Some bacteria have this enzyme while others do not. You can test for the presence of citrate permease by performing a Simmon's Citrate biochemical test.
No, Staphylococcus epidermidis is typically citrate negative, meaning it cannot utilize citrate as a carbon source for growth. This characteristic can be used in biochemical tests to help differentiate it from other bacteria.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically shows negative results on a urease test, as it does not produce urease enzyme. This means it does not break down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, resulting in no change in pH and no color change in the test medium.
This is a bit tricky. Both Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are Gram-negative and rod-shaped. According to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Proteus vulgaris tests positive for sulfur reduction, urease production, tryptophan deaminase production, and indole production. Pseudomonas aeruginosa reduces sulfur and nitrate, and has a characteristic green color. The API 20E Identification System is a test strip that can be used to identify Proteus vulgaris versus other bacteria.An even easier way to test this is the gelatinase test.Or, slant the bacteria on a Triple Sugar Iron slant or place them in a SIM agar deep. P. vulgaris tests positive for Hydrogen Sulfide production, changing the media to a black color around the organism, while P. aeruginosa does not produce Hydrogen Sulfide.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is catalase positive, meaning it produces the enzyme catalase which converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This can be used as a diagnostic test to differentiate it from other bacteria that may be catalase negative.
The citrate utilization test determines the ability of an organism to use citrate as its sole carbon source for growth. It is commonly used to differentiate between members of the Enterobacteriaceae family based on their ability to utilize citrate.
blue/positive

This color change indicates a positive result for citrate utilization.
The result is the initial green color of the Simmons Citrate Agar turning blue; generating a positive indication that the organism does indeed utilize citrate as the sole source of carbon and energy.

Yes, Pseudomonas luteola is oxidase-positive, meaning it contains the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase which catalyzes the oxidation of cytochrome C. This can be detected in the laboratory using an oxidase test.
I couldn't tell you what were the odds, but I hope this helps: You could be killing your oxidase activity if your organism was no longer viable. When identifying organisms you should always use fresh cultures. Regardless, some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa can test oxidase negative. a TSI slant would confirm if you were dealing with a presumptive pseudomonad or an enteric. Enterics will have a strong acid reaction (because they ferment) and Pseudomonas would have no acid (or a very weak acid) reaction. Happy streaking!
Yes, Serratia marcescens typically tests negative for citrate utilization in citrate utilization tests. This bacterium lacks the enzyme citrate-permease needed to import citrate into the cell, resulting in a negative citrate test.
Based on my own test, Shigella flexneri tests negative for the citrate test.
