front 1 The oxidation fermentation test is designed to: | back 1 differentiate bacteria on the basis of fermentative or oxidative metabolism of carbohydrates |
front 2 What does Hugh and Leifson's OF test include to reduce the possibility that alkaline products from peptone ulitization will neutralize weak acids produced by oxidation of the carbohydrate? | back 2 a high sugar to peptone ratio |
front 3 What is the pH indicator in the OF test? | back 3 bromthymol blue dye |
front 4 the bromthymol blue dye is ____ at pH of 6 and ____ at pH of 7 | back 4 yellow
|
front 5 How is the OF medium prepared? | back 5 with glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose, mannitol, or xylose and is not slanted |
front 6 After innoculation, what happens to one of the tubes of OF and why? | back 6 it is sealed with a layer of mineral oil to promote anaerobic growth and fermentation |
front 7 Organisms that are able to ferment the carbohydrate or ferment and oxidize the carbohydrate will do what? | back 7 turn the sealed and unsealed media yellow throughout |
front 8 Organisms that are able to oxidize only will do what? | back 8 turn the unsealed medium yellow and leave the sealed medium green or blue |
front 9 Slow or weak fermenters will do what? | back 9 turn both tubes slightly yellow at the top |
front 10 Organisms that are not able to metabolize sugar will do what? | back 10 produce no color change or turn the medium blue because of alkaline products from amino acid degredation |
