What would be possible consequence of replacing the lactose with glucose on the MacConkey Agar?

When lactose is replaced with another type of sugar like glucose in the MacConkey Agar, it is usually to identify bacteria mutations. The method to detect the fermentation in a replacement sugar solution is the same as lactose fermented solution.

∙ 9y agoLactose and glucose are both types of sugar. If lactose is replaced with glucose in the MacConket agar, the coliform will be pink and mucoid.

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
What are the possible fates of glucose in the body?
Used for respiration to produce energy Stored as glycogen for energy later
Does glucose enter a cell by active transport?
GLUT1 is a passive protein transport. Glucose with GLUT1 can only be transported from high to low concentration. With the sodium - glucose symporter it's possible to transport glucose from low to high concentration.
What organelle converts glucose into glycogen?
There are alpha particles found in the pancreas which is organelle that converts glucose into glycogen. This is made possible when a hormone known as glucogen is released.
If a beaker contains glucose and is permeable to glucose what will happen to the glucose?
If a beaker containing glucose is permeable to glucose, then the glucose will go through the beaker.
Does Bacillus subtilis grow in MacConkey broth?
Bacillus subtilis is grown on nutrient agar or in nutrient broth. The preferred medium is M9 with glucose.
What chemical substance does diabetes produce?
The consequence of diabetus is a high blood glucose concentration.
Why is the secretion of insulin reduced in times of stress?
The hyperglycemia caused by stress would lead to an increased secretion of insulin, which would than lower blood glucose. As a consequence, the blood glucose would not be sustained to deal with continued stress.
How many possible isomers of glucose exist and what are some examples?
Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer? If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers. The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.
Which of the following is not a possible fate of glucose-6-phosphate?
It can enter into the urea cycle
What is a possible explanation if a food tastes sweet but lacks glucose?
may be there other ingredients that's taste sweet, its not necessary that glucose must be present, may be artificial sweet, which taste sweet but is not glucose
How does the negative feed back works explain with diagram?
it refers to opposite effect produce in relation any change in body fluids.Example:as a consequence of eating sweets or candies the glucose level raised in the blood It triggers the mechanism,which decrease the blood glucose back to normal limit.
What will be consequences if you take insulian after taking alcohol?
Taking insulin after drinking alcohol is not allways advisable. The alcohol can prevent the liver from releaseing glucagon, a hormon that makes your blood glucose level rise. Insulin lowers your blood glucose level so a consequence of taking insuling while drinking can result in hypoglycemia, too low blood glucose levels.
How many disaccharides are theoretically possible starting from D- glucose in the pyranose form?
19
Which of the following is not a possible fate of the glucose which is taken into cells?
Oxidation to pyruvate via gluconeogenesis
Why urine doesn't normally contain glucose?
Glucose is too valuable to be lost in the urine, so it is selectively reabsorbed by active transport in the nephrons. There should be no glucose whatsoever in urine. Any trace of it is a possible sign of diabetes.
Substances that are absent from the filtrate and urine of healthy individuals?
The two things that might indicate problems in health would be proteins and glucose. Proteins in filtrate or urine would indicate a possible kidney infection and glucose would indicate possible diabetes.
