How do mannitol-salt agar tests work?

Mannitol salt agar supports growth of organisms that can grow in a high salt concentration, particularly Staphylococcus species and halophiles. The phenol red pH indicator in the agar will also let you know whether or not the bacterium you streaked ferments mannitol by changing to a yellow color if fermentation has occured.


Name two types of carbohydrates?

*Sucrose (fructose, glucose) *Maltose (glucose, glucose) *Lactose (galactose, glucose) * = disaccharides ()= monosaccharides All are sugars which equal carbohydrates other examples are corn syrup, sorbitol, glycerol, dextrin, starch...


Is Glucose a component of all three dietary disaccharides?

No, glucose is a component of two dietary disaccharides: maltose (glucose + glucose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Sucrose (glucose + fructose) does not contain glucose.


What is the molecule that all organisms need in order to carry out all their functions?

Glucose.glucose


What is mannitol salt test for and whats a positive test result?

Mannitol Salts agar is a selective and differential media used to identify Staphylococcus sp. The media is selective due to the high salt concentration which prevents all but halophiles from growing. The media is differential due to the presence of mannitol and the indicator Phenol Red. Staphylococcus aureus can ferment mannitol and produce lactic acid as a result. The media contains an indicator called Phenol Red which turns yellow in low pH environments. This results in a yellow halo around the S.aureus colonies. Staphylococcus epidermidis cannot ferment mannitol and so the colour of the media around these colonies does not change. Certain vibro species and other halophiles may grow on these plates some of these appear pink and some may be able to ferment mannitol leading to false positives. S.epidermidis is a normal commensal organism and grows on the skin. S.aureus is a potential pathogen, antibiotic strains exist and can be hospital accquired infections. Search for "MRSA" for more information.

Yes. All types of sugars are. (Glucose, fructose, galactose)


Do all 0 sugar energy drinks have fake sugar?

Some have "non-nutritive sweeteners" such as sorbitol and mannitol, and others have the common artificial sweeteners saccharin or aspartame (Nutrasweet). The use of L-sugars (non-digestible molecular forms) is fairly rare because they are much more expensive, and can have an unintended laxative effect because they hold water.


What is the prime source of the energy you get from your food?

Glucose. All types of food can be digested, or broken down, into simple sugars. And, the simplest sugar that your body can use for energy is glucose.
