CITRATE TEST This test determines the ability of bacteria to use citrate as source of carbon and inorganic ammonium salt as a source of nitrogen. The following are the stepwise procedure in conducting citrate test: 1. Infuse the Simmons citrate agar on the slant by touching the tip of sterilized needle to a colony. 2. Incubate at 37 degree Celsius for 24 to 48 hours. A positive result is indicated by the pH indicator, bromothymol blue which turns the growth green to blue.   Task: In a tabulated form, determine if the Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are positive or negative with

Microbial Growth

The development of microbial growth is influenced by various natural conditions (both physical and synthetic) like pH, temperature, saltiness, gas focus (O2, CO2, and H2), nutrients, water action, and assimilation. Knowing the distinctive physical and chemical factors that influence the development and endurance of microbial growth in the climate will assist with reinforcing endeavors outfitted towards their control. These lines lessen or diminish their harmful impacts on humankind, creatures, and the climate.
