"A technician is reading the plates from a sputum culture. On the sheep blood agar (SBA), she sees flat spreading colonies with

a metallic sheen. On cetrimide agar, she sees a fluorescent green color in the media with clear colonies. On MacConkey, she sees medium clear colonies that have a "fruity or grape-like odor." What is the most likely organism?"

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>

Hypothesize whether prokaryotic cells might have been symbiotic before the evolution of eukaryotic
elena55 [62]
 <span>Two prokaryotes turning into a eukaryotic cell began with a process called

endosymbiosis. One large prokaryote engulfs (a process called

endocytosis) one small, aerobically respiring prokaryote. The small

prokaryote turned into a membrane-bound organelle, which prokaryotes do

not have, and like we know, only eukaryotes have membrane-bound

organelles. So that is how the eukaryotic cell structure evolved from

prokaryotic cells, meaning that before this evolution, they were most likely symbiotic.</span>
