Oxygen is sometimes toxic.
Small amounts of superoxide free radicals are formed during the normal respiration of organisms
that use oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
Obligate anaerobes from some oxygen free radicals that are toxic to the cell. Hence, if bacteria
wants to grow in oxygen environment, enzymes like catalase and superoxidase dismutasemust
be present for neutralization of the toxic form of oxygen(oxygen radical)

During normal aerobic respiration, hydrogen ions are produced and have to be removed by
bacterial cell. The electron transport system (ETS) in cellular respiration (a part of glycolysis)
involves these H+ ions and combines them with oxygen to form water. Water is harmless.Energy is given off and stored in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate.
What is toxic is Hydrogen Peroxide that is formed by the cytochromes in ETS. Water beingharmless is not required to be removed by the bacteria. So, what is harmful to bacteria cell that
requires it to be removed instantly??
http://famsbc.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/catalase-test/aerobes-anaerobes-2/8/10/2019 bahan untuk bakteri.docx

answer: H2O2.
Functions of catalase
Protects bacteria from toxic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation, which can occur during
aerobic metabolism. If hydrogen peroxide accumulates, it becomes toxic to the organism.
Since Catalase breaks H2O2down into water and O2, the presence of oxygen can be characterizedby bubbles which indicates a (+) result.
What bacteria could mostly likely be detected?
most aerobic organism make catalase.
http://student.ccbcmd.edu/courses/bio141/labmanua/lab8/catstaph.html
Most aerobic organsims will display (+) results.
e.g. Staphyloccocus aureus.
Some anaerobic organisms will display (-) results, indicating that they do not produce catalase toprevent oxygen accumulation. Why?
Because since oxygen is totally not used for survivalof these organisms, they do not have theabilityto produce catalase.
e.g. Clostridium, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus

Fermentation can occur in the presenceof oxygen orabsence of oxygen.
If bacteria utilises carbohydrates for nutrients, there may be2 end products, a gas and acid. Thesubstrate formed from the metabolism of carbohydrate is either glucose or lactose.
Even if bacteria releases enzymes that enable to use carbohydrates through fermentation andoxidation, gas may or may not be produced.
FERMENTATION is noted by acid production which can be observed by a colour changein
Durham tubesaka carbohydrate fermentation tube.
Phenol Redindicator is red in neutral or alkaline solution
If acid is present(+), phenol red changes from red>yellow
If there is a small space at the top of the small tube, it means thatgas is trapped in the small
inverted tube inside the bigger tube. Therefore,gas is producedfrom the breakdown ofcarbohydrates.

Look at the 1st picture above, why is it red if gas is produced and it just means fermentation hasoccured?
Due to prolonged incubation periods(more than 24h), bacteria will begin to grow
oxidatively(oxygen dependent) on the peptone contents of the fermentation medium after using
up the carbohydrate contents, causing the neutralization of phenol red indicator and turing it reddue to NH3 production.

The only organism that has the ability to break down carbohydrate into glucose and lactose is
E.coliand it also has the ability to produce gas during fermentation.
ForP. aerguinosa, it displayed negative results for all, which means it cant break down
carbohydrate into glucose & lactose.
Another test which is the MRVP testis able to differentiate between organisms that produce
large amounts of acidand organisms that only produce neutral content(acetoin)
M-Methyl Red. VP- Voges -Proskauer. Methyl Red is different from Phenol Red that wemention earlier. It has a pH of 4.4-6. Hence, it changes colour at this range.
For MR test, if organic acid is produced here, the (+) result is just a no change in colour ofMethyl Red. REDremains.
if neutral acetoin is produced here, the (-) result is a change in colour fromREDto YELLOW
because at pH 7, the indicator will change its colour.

To test for the presence of acetoin, we use VP test where potassium hydroxide and naphthol
are added.
The upper of the medium will turn red. (+) If the medium turnslight brown, it is a (-) result.
Please note that production of acetoin is also affected by the duration of incubation, hence, falsenegative results may be observed.
We can use Kosers citrate or Simmons citrate to test for the ability of bacteria toferment
citrate. When citric acid or sodium citrate is in solution, it loses a protonor sodium ion to forma citrate ion. Bacteria with citrate lyase can break down citrate to form pyruvate. Pyruvate can
be further reduced in fermentation.
Purpose of performing the citrate test
Tests for the ability of bacteria to convert citrate (an intermediate of the Krebs cycle)
into oxaloacetate (another intermediate of the Krebs cycle)
Contents of Simmon citrate include
sodium citrate as the carbon source
monoammonium phosphate as the nitrogen source
and bromthymol blue indicator that changes toblue when medium turnsalkaline, whichmeans (+) result.
Why alkaline means citrate is utilised by the bacteria?
When bacteria uses citrate(carbon) and ammonium(nitrogen), medium turns alkaline as ammoniais produced from ammonium.

How do we determine if type of metabolism is fermentative or oxidative?
we will test with an glucose OF oxidative- fermentative agar. If agar turns yellow, acidisproduced. If agar turns green, no acidis produced. Motility of the bacteria can also be
determined by the presence of turbidity (cloudiness)
OXIDATIVE metabolism may or may not cause an acid to be produced for aerobic conditions.
No acid will be produced for anaerobic conditions.
FERMENTATIVE metabolism will cause an acid to be produced for aerboic and anaerobic
conditions.

Tryptophan is degraded bytryptophanaseinto indole, ammonia, pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid is
then involved in metabolic pathway so that ATP energy for bacterial cell is generated. While
other products like NH3 and Pyruvate is metabolised, indole is not. Hence, it stays in the
medium.
Upon addition of Kovacs reagent, deep red ringat the top of the agar/ broth is formed whenKovacs reagent reacts with indole. This is the (+) result.
E.coliis one of the organism that can display (+) result since exoenzyme tryptophanase is

Lipolysis is carried out by LIPASES.
Triglycerides(big molecules derived from lipids) are broken down into fatty acids & glycerol
If pH of medium, used for testing whether lipase is present to break down lipids, is lowered. It
indicates acidic product(fatty acid) is formed.
Trigylceride used here is tributyrin that can be found in medium Spirit Blue Agar.
There are 2 indicators for (+) result.
1. dark blue precipitate(tributyrin is completely broken down into fatty acids) OR2. oil droplets (when tributyrin is not completely broken down into fatty acids)

-hydrogen sulphide production
Casein(a protein) is broken down by protease into peptones and amino acids.
During the degradation process, polypeptide bonds are broken.
Once the bonds are broken, amino acids are produced. A clear zonesurrounding streak line ofagar indicates a (+) result.

Organism that gives (+) result isBacillus subtilis, Clostridiumspieces. (-) results are indicative
that organismdoes not cause a clear zone. an example of organism displaying (-) result is
Escherichia coli.

Properties of skim milk agar
Skim milk agar contents- casein, lactose and other nutrients, which support growth oflactobacilli.
Gives the white colour to milk.
As seen from the above, we can infer if bacteria present in milk is able to break down the caseinin milk, milk may have abnormal particles that are not white in colour.
Application of this biochemical this is in food testing.
Another protein commonly found in food products is gelatin.
It is broken down by gelatinaseinto smaller polypeptides, peptones and amino acids that cancross the cell membrane and be utilised by the organism.
Property of Gelatin agar
INTERESTING to note: when gelatin is broken down via hydrolysis, it cannotsolidify anymore,the areas of solid gelatin media where the organsim grows, will turn into liquid. Even if you
refrigerate this medium, the media will remains liquid.

Hence, a (+) result is indicated by the liquid stateof gelatin.Bacillus subtilisis able to produceproteolytic exoenzyme gelatinase to give the (+) result.
Why is gelatin not used widely as a selective media for isolating bacteria? (hint: what is gelatin
agar unique property?)
Most bacteria do not contain enzymes that liquefy gelatin. Hence, it is not uselfy for isolatingmicrobes for bacterial identification.
Decomposition of amino acid cysteine is detected by the formation of ferrous sulphide whenHydrogen Sulphide is release.
Why? Some bacteria have the ability to give off H2S from sulphur containing amino acidsafter proteins are broken down into amino acids by enzymes.
When H2S is produced, sulfide ion reacts with the metal salt to product a black precipitate(+)
result.
