Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Streptobacillus is a gram negative, oxidase negative, catalase negative, non motile organism, and 0.3-0.7 µm by 1-5 µm in length
Escherichia coli
Most of the Enterobacteriaceae are Catalase Positive. E. coli is Catalase Positive and Oxidase Negative. Do not report the previous as an answer. For gram negative, catalase negative and oxidase negative rods, it is likely that you have bacteria of the Bacteroides genus.

What is Acinetobacter?
it is a gram negative bacteria (but sometimes it is hard to destain. bacillus or diplobacillus in shape when it is in exponential phase, became coccobacilli when it is in stationery phase. Besides this, it is strictly aerobic , catalase positive and oxidase negative.
Is Neisseria species catalase positive?
Yes, it is catalase positive. This is because it is capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to give water and oxygen. The presence of bubbles when hydrogen peroxide is added to E. coli on a microscope slide is a phenotypic (observable physical characteristic) proof that it is catalase positive.
How can you easily distinguish enterics and pseudomonads?
Enterics are oxidase negative while pseudomonads are oxidase positive.
What is Oxidase test results for bacillus subtilis?
It is NEGATIVE
What are Alcaligenes faecalis characteristics?
Alcaligenes faecalis is a motile, obligate aerobic and motile bacteria. The colony morphology of alcligenes faecalis is that of small colonies, grey in color, with rough borders and spreading edges. These bacteria are rod-shaped, and colonies are thin, and often have a â??fruityâ?? odor that many people associate with green apples.

Is coryne bacterium is oxidase positive?
no.coryne bacterium is oxidase negative.
Is Neisseria species catalase positive?
Yes, it is catalase positive. This is because it is capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to give water and oxygen. The presence of bubbles when hydrogen peroxide is added to E. coli on a microscope slide is a phenotypic (observable physical characteristic) proof that it is catalase positive.

Enterics are oxidase negative while pseudomonads are oxidase positive.
What is Oxidase test results for bacillus subtilis?
It is NEGATIVE
Does Enterobacter aerogenes ferment sugar?
Enterobacter aerogenes is a Gram-negative, oxidase negative, catalase positive, citrate positive, indole negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is generally found in the human gastrointestinal tract. It is amylase negative.
Why does catalase elute in a wider range of fractions than glucose oxidase does?
Catalase degrades easily at room temperature b. Glucose oxidase is inactivated at low pH c. Glucose oxidase is only active at low pH d. Glucose oxidase has a higher molecular weight than catalase .
Can an aerobic organsm be oxidase negative?
No, the aerobic organism cannot be oxidase negative. This is because the aerobic organisms use oxygen as the electron acceptor. The aerobic organism are therefore oxidase positive.
The oxidase test is used to differentiate among which groups of bacteria?
Differentitate among members of the genera Neisseria and Pseudomonas which are oxidase positive and Enterobacteriaceae which are oxidase negative.
Does escherichia coli give a negative result for citrate test?
No, it is present/positive. • Cocci* • Gram-Positive* • Non-motile* • No Capsules* • No Spores* • Facultative Aerobe* • No Glucose, Lactose*, Mannitol* Fermentation • No Urease*, Catalase*, Oxidase*, Ligase*, Protease* Production • Production of Indole*, tryptophonase*
Which bacteria is NLF oxidase negative motile citrate and urease positive and TSI alkali nochange?
S.maltophila
What Two genera that are oxidase positive?
Neisseria, Alcaligenes, Moraxella, and Pseudomonadaceae are genera of oxidase positive microorganisms.
