What bacteria is indole negative urea positive methyl red positive hydrogen sulfide positive and lactose negative?

Proteus vulgaris is a bacterium that fits this description. It is indole negative, urea positive, methyl red positive, hydrogen sulfide positive, and lactose negative. These characteristics are used in biochemical tests to help classify and identify different bacteria species.


What is the reaction of staphylococcus in TSI agar?

Staphylococcus typically shows no reaction in Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) agar due to its inability to ferment lactose or produce hydrogen sulfide. Staphylococcus colonies on TSI agar appear as small, round, and colorless colonies without any color changes in the medium.


What is the hydrogen sulfide test used on Bacillus subtilis?

H2S (hydrogen sulfide) Test: This test is used to check for Enteric gram negative bacilli by checking for the enzyme thiosulfate reductase which is produced by various intestinal microorganisms. So if bacillus subtilis can produce this enzyme then this test will give you a pos. (black in color) result. Yeah, no kidding. I'm pretty sure the question was what the result of it, or they wouldn't specify that it was b. subtilis. and it is positive for H2S production.


What is the purpose of thiosulfate in the triple sugar iron agar?

Thiosulfate in the triple sugar iron agar acts as a sulfur source and helps to detect hydrogen sulfide production by bacteria. It can also serve as a reducing agent to maintain anaerobic conditions in the medium.


What is the stinky gas associated with swamps and anaerobic decomposition?

The stinky gas associated with swamps and anaerobic decomposition is hydrogen sulfide. It is produced when organic matter decays in the absence of oxygen.

What is the intermolecular force found in hydrogen sulphide?

The intermolecular force found in hydrogen sulfide is dipole-dipole interaction, as hydrogen sulfide has a significant difference in electronegativity between sulfur and hydrogen, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge on the molecule. This results in the attraction between the positive end of one molecule and the negative end of another.
