No, Enterotube II works with Gram-negative microorganisms - if use with Gram-positive will result in infallible data.

Why is an oxidase test performed on a culture before using API 20E and Enterotube II to identify the culture?

The oxidase test is performed to determine if the culture contains cytochrome c oxidase enzyme, which helps in distinguishing between oxidase-positive and oxidase-negative organisms. This information is important for selecting the appropriate biochemical tests in the API 20E and Enterotube II identification systems, as these tests are designed to work best with specific types of bacteria based on their oxidative characteristics.


How do you isolate and identify gram positive cocci?

Gram positive cocci can be isolated and identified through Gram staining, which involves using a series of dyes to distinguish between different types of bacteria based on their cell wall composition. Once isolated, additional tests such as catalase test, coagulase test, and biochemical tests can help further identify specific species of gram positive cocci such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Additionally, molecular techniques like PCR and sequencing can be used for precise identification.


If the father is o positive and mother is o positive what would the child's blood group be?

O positive


Can an AB positive blood type and a o positive blood type a produce an o positive child?

Yes, it is possible for an AB positive parent and an O positive parent to have an O positive child. The child would inherit one O allele from the O positive parent and one A or B allele from the AB positive parent, resulting in an O positive blood type.


What is the first step in identifying bacteria?

There are many ways to identify an unknown bacteria. The method to identify depends on tools available and setting. A medical setting has different identification process than an educational setting. Both places would usually begin with a gram stain. A gram positive bacteria would appear purple under a microscope, whereas gram negative would appear orange. Another way to identify bacteria would be to choose different agar plates to grow the bacteria. The presence of bacterial growth on different media helps to identify the unknown bacteria.

What is monococcus?

Monococcus is not a recognized term in biology. It may be a misspelling or misinterpretation. If you meant "monococcus," it is not a commonly known biological term, and further clarification would be needed to provide an accurate answer.
