Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology should have the answer for you.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium. It appears pink or red in the Gram stain due to the structure of its cell wall, which does not retain the crystal violet stain in the Gram staining process.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is gelatinase positive, meaning it can break down gelatin. Gelatinase is an enzyme that allows the bacterium to degrade gelatin, a protein derived from collagen.
No, Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically gives a negative result for citrate utilization in biochemical tests. This bacterium usually does not possess the citrate-permease enzyme needed for citrate utilization.
positive
Members of the genus Pseudomonas display the following defining characteristics: • Rod shaped •Gram-negative • One or more polar flagella, providing motility • Aerobic, although some species have been found to be facultative anaerobes (e.g. P. aeruginosa) •Non–spore forming • Positive catalase test
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative organism.It appears pink when stained by GRAMS technique.i.e., it takes the counter stain SAFFRANIN and appears pink in color.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium. It appears pink or red in the Gram stain due to the structure of its cell wall, which does not retain the crystal violet stain in the Gram staining process.
No, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not known to hydrolyze starch. It is primarily known for its ability to break down a variety of organic compounds as a versatile metabolic processor in various environments.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is gelatinase positive, meaning it can break down gelatin. Gelatinase is an enzyme that allows the bacterium to degrade gelatin, a protein derived from collagen.
No, but Pseudomonas aeruginosa is.
Negative for both. Pseudomonas does not ferment sugars.
No, Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically gives a negative result for citrate utilization in biochemical tests. This bacterium usually does not possess the citrate-permease enzyme needed for citrate utilization.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically shows negative results on a urease test, as it does not produce urease enzyme. This means it does not break down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, resulting in no change in pH and no color change in the test medium.
No, Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram positive facultative anaerobe. It has a cell wall surrounding a peptidoglycan layer, however does not produce an endospore like many other gram positive bacteria. Staphylococcus Aureus is a cocci shaped bacteria with pyogenic properties.
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.
Some examples of gram-positive bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Examples of gram-negative bacteria include Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium often found in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is known for its ability to cause infections in immunocompromised individuals, while A. faecalis is typically less pathogenic but can cause infections in certain settings.
