PRINCIPLE Most bacteria are capable of true motility ‘These microorganisms have appendages called flagella and endoflagella, also called axial filament, (only found "on spirochetes) These locomotor organelles allow bacteria to move independently from one place to another. This allows bacteria to move towards beneficial things like food, oxygen, or light or away from harmful things like toxic chemicals or oxygen (anaerobes). The ability to move in a direction in response to a physical or chemical stimulus is called taxis. Bacteria lacking true motility exhibit a false motion called Brownian movement. This false, non-directional motion is caused when cells are bombarded by water molecules. ‘The hanging drop method used here is a type of wet mount slide preparatici that allows the observation of living, unstained cells in.a fluid medium. EQUIPMENT Materials Depression slide, coverslips, petroleum jelly, tooth picks, Bunsen burner, and wire loop Cultures Nutrient broth cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (24) pEO CEDURE Using a toothpick, make a ring of petroleum jelly around the cavity on the depression slide. 2.

Gently press the depression slide against the coverslip, just enough to allow the petroleum jelly to make contact. Do not press too hard to spread petroleum jelly to spread outside of the edges of the coverslip. 6.

They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Facultative anaerobic and anaerobic bacteria are capable of fermentation. In this anaerobic process, the final electron acceptor is an organic molecule. Each medium has a single fermentable carbohydrate added to a peptone medium. Phenol red is also added as a pH indicator. A small tube (Durham tube) is inverted and placed in each larger test tube of liquid medium, The inverted tube is able to trap any gas products. ‘The indicator, phenol red will turn yellow below pH 6.8 (acidic) and a darker pinkish- red above pH 7.4 (alkaline). If the organism metabolizes the carbohydrate, subsequent acid production will result in lowered pH. If the organism does not ferment the carbohydrate, the pH may remain neutral. If the organism does not ferment the carbohydrate and also utilizes the peptone, accumulation of the ammonia as a degradation product will raise the pH. MATERIALS Equipment: Bunsen bumer and wire loop Cultures: Nutrient broth cultures of: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18) Escherichia coli (11), and Staphylococcus aureus (23). Media: Per pair 3 tubes each of: Phenol red lactose broth, phenol red glucose/dextrose broth, and phenol red sucrose broth. PROCEDURE ALL carbohydrate tubes have color coded caps. Red = Dextrose/Glucose Blue = Lactose Green = Suerose Make sure not to shake broth tube as it may cause entrapment of air bubbles in the Durham tube and may give you a FALSE POSITIVE result for GAS. 1. Using a permanent marker, label each tube with the name/number of the organisms.2.

Aseptically, Inoculate one phenol red lactose broth tube, one phenol red glucose/dextrose broth, and one phenol red sucrose tube with p. aeruginosa. 5.

Acid, Gas: (yellow plus gas bubble) Fermentation of the sugar is indicated by a color change to yellow. Gas is trapped in the Durham tube, replacing the medium in the tube. A bubble indicates gas production, Negative: Negative fermentation can be indicated two ways: 1. No color change in the tube means that the sugar was not utilized by the organism. 2. Color change to a dark, pinkish-red: this darker color indicates alkaline or basic metabolic products ‘hich is due to the utilization of the proteins, rather than the sugar.

Flood the starch agar plate with Gram’s iodine solution. Allow to react for two minutes. The plate should turn purple, except where the starch has been hydrolysed, usually around the area of growth. No purple color, a clear zone around the bacterial growth, indicates area of the plate where starch has been hydrolyzed. The readings must be made within three minutes because the starch iodine complex will fade rapidly. Test for casein hydrolysis. Examine the milk agar plates for evidence of clearing around the colonies. This zone is where the bacteria have hydrolyzed the casein in the milk agar plates.( Milk agar plates start off opaque). A clear zone around the bacterial growth indicates casein hydrolysis .

When alpha-naphthylamine (Nitrate reagent B) is added to the incubated medium, a red precipitate (prontosil) will be formed with any nifrite-sulfanilic acid complex present in the medium. ‘An organism may be reported as nitrate- positive if-ared color develops in the medium after Nitrate reagents A and B are added to the medium, indicating that the organism has reduced nitrate to nitrite. ‘The absence of a red color after the addition of both reagents does not automatically mean that the organism is unable to teduce nitrate. Strains ‘may have reduced the nitrate to nitrite, and then reduced the nitrite completely to nitrogenous gases which are not detected when Nitrate reagents A and B are added to the medium. If the ‘medium does not change color after the addition of sulfanilic acid and alpha-naphthylamine, a small amount ("knife point") of zine dust is added to the incubated medium. The zinc dust will catalyze the reduction of nitrate to nitrite chemically. Thus, if the nitrate has not been reduced by the organisms, i.e., they are nitrate- negative, it will be reduced by the zine dust and a red color will develop in the incubated medium within 15 min, If no color develops in the incubated medium after the addition of zinc dust, the organisms have not only reduced nitrate to nitrite, but have reduced nitrite to nitrogenous gases; these organisms are also nitrate-positiv.Experiment: 28 Nitrate Reduction Test ae ee ere zi | "Color after [Color after adding | REACTION | Nags gguinp reagent ~ (not added) _ REVIEW QUESTIONS 1, Name the 2 major end produets of nitrate reduction.

PRINCIPLE Living cells go through cellular respiration to generate energy in the form of ATP to carry out various cellular activities. This ‘energy is produced in a series of oxidation, loss of hydrogen ions and its electrons, and reduction, gain of hydrogen ions and its electrons reactions. Hydrogen ions and its electrons released during cellular respiration cannot remain free in the cell (free radicals) and must be removed immediately. Many aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria synthesize an enzyme called catalase which initiates the breakdown of toxic form of oxygen such as hydrogen peroxide (H;0;) into water (H,0) and free oxygen (0;). H,0; + Catalase ———> 21,0 + 02 During the normal process of aerobic respiration (Glycolysis, transition reaction, and the Kreb’s cycle) hydrogen ions (H’) are given off and picked-up by NAD and FAD and taken to. the electron transport chain to be utilized as source of energy to run electron transport chain, At the conclusion of the electron transport chain, these hydrogen ions. must be removed by the cell. A. enzyme called cytochromes oxidase combines these hydrogen ions with oxygen to form water (H,0). During the process, energy is given off and is trapped and stored in ATP. Water is then a harmless end product. Some cytochromes in the electron transport system, however, form toxic hydrogen peroxide (H;O,) instead of water Catalase Test and this must be removed. Most bacteria are catalase-positive; however, certain genera (groups) that don't carry out aerobic respiration, such as_Streptococeus, Lactobacillus, Mycoplasma, and Clostridium, are catalase-negative, Bacteria that are catalase-negative but are able to grow in the presence of oxygen have other enzymes like peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and superoxidase, to remove toxic forms of oxygen such as superoxide and O2-,an unstable form of oxygen.
