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.
Which if the bacterial cultures were gram positive?
To determine which bacterial cultures are Gram-positive, one would typically perform a Gram stain. Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet dye during this process, appearing purple under a microscope. Common examples of Gram-positive bacteria include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Bacillus species. If you have specific cultures in mind, I can help identify them based on their characteristics.
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.
If the father is o positive and mother is o positive what would the child's blood group be?
O positive

What are sphere shaped bacteria called?
Spherically shaped bacteria are called coccus, or cocci (pl). An example would be Streptococcus.

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.

If the bigger number is positive and the smaller number is a negative. Would the answer be a negative or a positive?
POSITIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A SMALL NUMBER SO LIKE 16 MINUS -4 IT WOULD BE POSITIVE
Who would win a positive or a negative?
positive

Can a coccus survive in a dry environment?
The coccus would be better suited for a dry environment. A sphere has less surface area for the volume, as such, less moisture will be lost by osmosis in a dry environment. In a moist environment, the higher surface area to volume ratio of a rod shaped bacterium will allow greater efficiency in transferring water and solutes into and out of the cell, making it possible for a rod shaped cell to have a higher metabolic rate, all other things being equal.
