Is serratia marcescens dnase positive or negative?
Serratia genus as a whole is dnase positive.
What are the results for klebsiella pneumoniae in the citrate utilization test?
Klebsiella pneumoniae is typically citrate negative, meaning it does not utilize citrate as a carbon source in the citrate utilization test. This bacterium lacks the enzyme citrate permease needed for citrate utilization.
In the citrate test explain how an organsm that possesses the citrate lyase enzyme might not test positive on simmos citrate agar is thia a false negative why?
An organism that possesses the citrate lyase enzyme may not test positive on Simmon's citrate agar if it does not effectively utilize citrate under the specific conditions of the test, such as pH or temperature. Additionally, the organism might not be able to grow on the agar due to other metabolic limitations or competition with other microorganisms. This situation is not strictly a false negative, as the test specifically measures the ability to utilize citrate as the sole carbon source, rather than merely the presence of the enzyme. Thus, a negative result could reflect the organism's inability to metabolize citrate in that particular environment.
Is Morganella morganii positive for a citrate test?
Yes, Morganella morganii is positive for citrate utilization. This bacterium can use citrate as a carbon source for growth and will produce alkaline byproducts, causing a color change in the citrate test medium from green to blue.
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*
How can you differentiate Serratia marcescens and Shigella flexneri as an unknown?
A simple test you can perform is the Citrate test, Serratia marcensens is Citrate positive while Shigella flexneriis citrate negative.Also Serratia Marcensens is motile and Shigella flexneri is non motile if you have already done a Hydrogen Sulfide test you would have been able to already determine between the two.Also Serratia marcensens is VP positive while Shigella flexneri is negative.Serratia marcensens is lipase positive and Shigella flexneri is lipase negativeAnother distinguishing characteristic is that Serratia marcensens grows a distinct red color pigmentation the Shigella flexneri does not have.(These are all according to Bergeys Manual of Systematic bacteriology)
Is Shigella Positive for a citrate test?
Based on my own test, Shigella flexneri tests negative for the citrate test.
Is serratia marcescens dnase positive or negative?
Serratia genus as a whole is dnase positive.
What are the results for klebsiella pneumoniae in the citrate utilization test?
Klebsiella pneumoniae is typically citrate negative, meaning it does not utilize citrate as a carbon source in the citrate utilization test. This bacterium lacks the enzyme citrate permease needed for citrate utilization.
Bacillus cereus have a positive reaction for VP and citrate?
The B.cereus has a positive citrate test and a negative Voges Proskauer.

What are results of Imvic test on staphylococci?
Staphylococcus epidermidis indole test - negative methyl red - negative voges proskauer test - positive citrate test - no idea
How do you identify Serratia liquifaciens?
Serratia liquifaciens are a rod-shaped, motile bacterium which can live in environments completely devoid of oxygen. Some strains are harmless; others can cause disease. We don't know a whole lot about it but lots of research is currently underway.
Is Morganella morganii positive for a citrate test?
Yes, Morganella morganii is positive for citrate utilization. This bacterium can use citrate as a carbon source for growth and will produce alkaline byproducts, causing a color change in the citrate test medium from green to blue.
Citrate test result for Pseudomonas aeruginosa?
Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically demonstrates a negative result on the citrate test, as it is unable to utilize citrate as its sole carbon source for growth. This bacterium lacks the enzyme citrate-permease needed to transport citrate into the cell for metabolism, leading to a lack of growth on citrate agar and a lack of color change from green to blue.
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*
What is Salmonella shigella yersinia and serratia?
Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, and Serratia are all gram-negative facultatively anaerobic rods.
