Question
Chapter 19, Problem 1CA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The location of given genera of anaerobes in the given flowchart.
Introduction:
Bacteria is a single-celled microscopic organism that belongs to the prokaryotic domain. They show diversity in their niche and cellular features. Bacteria can survive in aerobic, anaerobic or both conditions (facultative anaerobes). The cellular shape of bacteria also varies ranging from spherical to spiral.

In this section you will present the results of all the tests that was done to identify your organism Enterobacter aerogenes (your observation). In the laboratory we tabulated our results and created a chart (ID Matrix). Here you are describing the result of each test (in your own words). Include the name of the Indicator used (if any). Color changes that represent positive/negative results must be mentioned here.
Your organism is a Gram-negative organism (Enterobacter aerogenes)
You must discuss all the IMViC tests and Hydrogen sulfide test in DETAIL.
1. Indole test
2. Methyl red test
3. Vogues-Proskauer test
4. Citrate Test
5. Hydrogen Sulphide Test
Please write, in paragraph form, how you would identify the organism step by step. Remember to provide as much detail as possible, including but not limited to staining procedures, identification methods and their results. You have been given the final answer (type of organism), now explain to me in detail how you would come to this conclusion
Type of organism Topic is : Proteus vulgaris
When culturing microorganisms, you must ensure you work to prevent unwanted contamination. In doing this you are using ______________________________technique.
