Answer:

In regar to oxygen needs, all enterobacteria are <u>facultative anaerobes. </u>They Gram stain <u>negative,</u>and are <u>rod- </u>shaped and look similar under a microscope.<u> Biochemical, serological and molecular tests</u> can be used to distinguish between closely related species.

Explanation:

The family <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em> is formed by 53 genera and over 170 species. There are 26 that have a medical importance as they are associated with infections in humans. An example of those are the genera<em> Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Hafnia, Kliebsiella, Marganella, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Proteus, Providencia, Salmonella, Serratia, Shigella, Yersinia.</em>

The enterobacteria are Gram negative (they are stained in red/pink dye), rod-shaped and non-sporing. They are facultative anaerobes, that means that they can survive in the presence of oxygen but they also can be adapted to live in an oxygen-free (anaerobic)environment. They can be found all around the world in humans, animals, soil, water and plants.

The identification methods that are used to distinguish this family from other bacteria are  the morphology of the colony, Gram staining, and biochemical tests.

To distinguish between closed species of eneterobacteria there are biochemical, serological and molecular tests. The biochemical test that is commonly used is the Lactose Fermentation test. On the other hand, a serological method is the serotyping that is based on the immuno-reactivity of antigens such as somatic (O) and flagellar (H). And for the molecular methods include the Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST), Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Multiple-locus Variable Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis (MVLA), Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation-Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) Mass Spectometry, Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS).

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

P. aeruginosa

Explanation:

<em>P. aeruginosa</em> is a gram-negative bacteria that belongs to the family Pseudomonadaceae.

From the given question the following points lead us to conclude that the colony that will be growing would be of P. aeruginosa :

1. Flat spreading colonies with a metallic sheen on SBA - <em>P. aeruginosa</em> is known to produce smooth colonies with flat edges.

2. Fluorescent green color in the media with clear colonies on cetrimide agar - <em>P. aeruginosa</em> is known to produce pyoverdin which is a fluorescent pigment under low iron conditions.

3. Medium clear colonies that have a "fruity or grape-like odor" on MacConkey Agar - <em>P. aeruginosa</em> has a sweet fruity odor which is its characteristic odor because of the production of trimethylamine.

Thus, from all these characteristics one can conclude that the organism in the culture is <em>P. aeruginosa. </em>

What is produced during the photosynthesis process?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
