There are a number of medical uses of mannitol which include;
* Diuretic - to reduce the volume of extracellular water held by the body * Sodium ion excreting agent * Opening the blood-brain barrier to allow drugs to pass through (e.g Alzheimers) An IV drip of mannitol solution could be used for any of these reasons as well as others.
What else can I help you with?
Which ingredient in mannitol salt agar supplies carbon?
mannitol is a type of sugar, so it supplies the carbon in the MSA medium
What is the color of methyl red in boric acid and mannitol?
Methyl red will appear yellow in a boric acid solution and red in a mannitol solution.
Make a sentence with the word drip?
The drip from the water tap got on my nerves, so I went shopping for a new washer.
What are the products of reduction of D-fructose by NaBH4?
The products of the reduction of D-fructose by NaBH4 is a 50-50 production of sorbitol and mannitol. These are the alditol forms of glucose and mannose respectively.
What two media include elevated concentrations of sodium chloride for preventing growth of most bacteria?
Two media that include elevated concentrations of sodium chloride for preventing growth of most bacteria are mannitol salt agar and Thiosulfate-Citrate-Bile Salts-Sucrose (TCBS) agar. These media are selective for certain types of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus species in the case of mannitol salt agar, and Vibrio species in the case of TCBS agar.
Why is only mannitol used in ashby's mannitol broth?
MANNITOL IS CARBON SOURCE & AZOTOBACTER can fix nitrogen non- symbiotically
HOW do mannitol salt hook up to glycolysis?
Mannitol is not a substrate for glycolisis
What is the enzyme used in mannitol fermentation?
The enzyme primarily responsible for mannitol fermentation is mannitol dehydrogenase. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of fructose to mannitol in certain microorganisms. In the fermentation process, mannitol is produced as a byproduct, which can then be utilized by various bacteria and yeast for energy. Additionally, some organisms may also have other enzymes that contribute to mannitol metabolism.
Does Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferment mannitol?
Mannitol salt agar inoculated with Micrococcus luteusshowing no fermentation of mannitol (pink medium). The colonies show a yellow pigment which is characteristic of M. luteus.
What reaction does the enzyme involved in Mannitol-salt agar test mediate?
Mannitol salt agar is selective for gram positive bacteria, and differential for mannitol fermenters. Phenol red is the indicator containing the enzyme mannitol.
Can enterobacter cloacae grow on mannitol salt agar?
Yes, Enterobacter cloacae typically cannot grow on mannitol salt agar because it does not ferment mannitol. Mannitol salt agar is selective for salt-tolerant Staphylococci species that can ferment mannitol, producing acid and turning the agar yellow.
Does bacillus subtilis ferment acid from mannitol salt agar?
Bacillus subtilis typically does not ferment acid from mannitol salt agar as it lacks the enzymes needed for fermentation. Mannitol salt agar is mostly used to differentiate Staphylococcus species, which are capable of fermenting mannitol.
Which artist invented action painting or what was also called drip painting?
Jackson pollock
What is the effect of mannitol during dialysis?
Mannitol is given to raise blood pressure during hemodialysis
Glucose mannitol and sorbitol are all types of WHAT?
Glucose mannitol and sorbitol are both types of sugar.
Which ingredient in mannitol salt agar supplies carbon?
mannitol is a type of sugar, so it supplies the carbon in the MSA medium
What color indicate positive mannitol test?
Yellow, which means bacteria is able to produce acids from mannitol fermentation
