Which of the following tests can be used to distinguish between group D streptococcus and other streptococcus bacteria?     Mannitol Salt agar     Coagulase test     McConkey agar     Bile eschulin agar     Simmon's Citrate agar

How can I explain the results of my findings in lamen terms? 1 - Name of Test Type of Medium 2 - Color Before Incubation 3-Color After Incubation? 4 – Results Positive/ Negative? 5 - Reagents Added Lactose Fermentation test Phenol Red Lactose (PRL) Red Color: Yellow   Gas Bubble: Yes Positive Phenol Red to detect color change (added) Glucose Fermentation Test Phenol Red Glucose (PRG) Red Color: Yellow   Gas Bubble: Yes Positive Phenol Red to detect color change (added) Citrate Utilization Simmons Citrate Green Color: Blue Positive Bromthymol Blue (added) Indole Test Media = SIM Clear Indole: Color: Clear Negative For Indole, we add Kovac’s   Hydrogen Sulfide Test Media = SIM clear Hydrogen Sulfide: Color: Clear Negative Iron already added Methyl Red Test (MR test) Media = MRVP Broth Clear Color: Yellow Negative We add Methyl Red Reagent Voges-Proskauer Test (VP test) Media = MRVP Broth Clear…

please explain Bacillus cereus and its  shape, arrangemnet, why indole test, starchhydrolysis test, and citrate utilization test were need to use to idetify the bactria?

I tested organism growth on the MSA plate for strep. pyongenes, strep. pneumonia, s. aureus, and straph. epidermidis and my results were that streptococci organism did not grow or change color and the s.aureus changed color (yellow) and s.epi there was no change in color but they both showed growth. 1. If an unknown gram-positive bacterium was given, what would it mean if it grew on MSA? Name the organisms used above My answer: that it would be either s.aureus or s. epidermis because they are selective for salt-tolerant bacteria and can grow on mannitol 2. what would it mean if it both grew on MSA and turned yellow? Can you add to my answer or correct it. Thank you!

What is the microbiology laboratory test that Identifies Pseudomonas plecoglossicida and what are the results of the tests that identify it? please include your sources in MLA. examples are hemolytic tests, lipid concentrations, genomic tests etc.

What other microbiology tests should I perform to seperate proteus mirabilis, salmonella typhi, Serratia marcescens, and Shigella flexeneri?
