How do you inoculate agar butt?
In microbiological testing, a "butt" refers to the bottom of a tube filled with agar. Its most common use is in conjunction with the term "slant". These agar-filled tubes are typically allowed to solidify at an angle so that a larger amount of surface area is available to inoculate by streaking. After incubation, both the slant surface and the butt have to be evaluated because growth on the slanted surface (next to air/oxygen) will indicate one kind of information and the bottom (butt) will indicate additional information about the bacterial growth--usually indicated by a difference in color. For example, in the TSI test (Triple Sugar Iron), a combination where the slant is red and the butt is yellow means that fermentation of glucose has occurred. In a TSI test, the butt is not actually inoculated. However, in a motility test, which does not require a slant, the agar is inoculated by stabbing a straight wire covered with an inoculum of sample down to the bottom of the tube. If the bacteria can grow away from the stab into the agar, they are motile. If growth is confined to the stab length, they are non-motile.
Does Enterobacter aerogenes produce gas in the Kligler Iron Agar test?
Yes. Enterobacter aerogenes ferments lactose and glucose as well as producing gas. It does not produce H2S. Occasionally the slant may revert to an alkaline reaction even though lactose has been fermented. Another lactose test should be formed, such as the reaction on MacConkey agar
Is E. coli positive or negative for starch agar test?
E.coli does not digest the starch on a starch agar plate, therefore it does not produce amylase making it negative.
Can macConkey Agar plates test for e coil?
Yes. Colonies will be red or pink.
Use of agar slant?
An agar slant is when a test tube is filled with liquid agar and allowed to cool and harden at an angle (slant). Agar is mixed with other nutrients to provide a medium for which bacteria can grow on.
Why triple sugar iron agar is called multi-test?
triple sugar iron agar is called the multi test because in this test we differentiate the enteric pathogen on the basis of different carbohydrate fermentation i.e glucose,sucrose and lactose.as well as we differentiate on the basis of gas and h2S production....

Is staphylococcus aureus triple sugar iron test positive?
Acid ferment
What is an agarslant?
Agarslant is a means whereby agar is created. It is also known as a TSI or Triple Sugar Iron Test. It is a process whereby agar is cooled in a slanted position. Here's what happens: agar is mixed in a test tube with 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, sodium thiosulfate, and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate. This causes the agar to react in such a way so that it cools in a slanted position.

What is a Kliger's iron agar and SIM have in common?
Kliger's Iron Agar (KIA) and Sulfur Indole Motility (SIM) can both test for the production of H2S, which binds with iron to form a black precipitate.
Will metronidazole test?
What test is metrondazole test? Which contains have metronidazole test? What is mycoplasma agar A7? Which contains have mycoplasma agar A7?
Lactose fermentation mac conkey test which color indicate a positive test?
MacConkey agar is yellow (due to the lactose in the agar). When an organism consumes the lactose, the agar turns purple. Purple indicates a positive test. If the organism doesn't use the agar, the agar stays yellow.
What is the Triple sugar iron test results for klebsiella pneumoniae?
butt colour and reaction - yellow slant colour and reaction - yellow carbohydrate fermented - glucose only H2S production :- blackening- NO H2S - (-) negative

What is the best biochemical test to identify gram negative and H2S bacilli?
Gram Stain to determine gram negative and shape or streak on a Agar plate selective for gram negative such as Desoxycholate Agar (DES). A SIM (Sulfur, Indole, Motility) Test or a Kiliger's Iron Agar (KIA) Test can confirm the production of H2S. *I would choose Streaking on DES to isolate the gram Negative bacteria, and then stab inoculate a SIM tube. Black precipitate confirms H2S production positive.
