You must write up your OWN dichotomous key for all the possible unknown organisms listed below. The first step of the key will be the Gram Stain and the second will be Gram negative. Subsequent steps will include biochemical tests only.
Solve the identity of an unknown bacterial specimen by creating a dichotomous key and using the staining, culturing and biochemical identification procedures .
Possible Organisms
Alcaligenes faecalis
Enterobacter aerogenes
Enterococcus faecalis
Escherichia coli
Proteus vulgaris
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Salmonella arizoniae
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Streptococcusbovis
Streptococcus pyogenes.
Can you please help me find the dichotomous key .
Thank you !

Thank you !arrow_forwardAfter quick-characterization by staining, specialized growth media can be used to indicate further biochemical characteristics of an unknown organism. These tests use visual outcomes, such as colors, patterns, and changes in appearance. The results can be interpreted to then assign a characteristic to the unknown organism. For example, a color change may happen when an unknown organism is incubated in a mixed sugar broth. The color could indicate which sugar was (or was not) used by the bacterium for energy. a) explain in your own words how to perform specialized media tests to find an unknown bacteriaarrow_forward
