**Organism Characteristics and Test Results** This table provides a list of various bacterial organisms along with their characteristics and the results of specific microbiological tests. Below is a detailed transcription of the table: | **Organism** | **Characteristic** | **Result** | |-------------------------------|-----------------------|------------| | *Bacillus subtilis* | Gram stain | | | *Escherichia coli* | Gram stain | | | *Klebsiella pneumoniae* | Oxygen requirement | | | *Mycobacterium phlei* | Acid-fast stain | | | *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* | Hemolysis | | | *Staphylococcus aureus* | Cell morphology | | | *Pseudomonas fluorescens* | Oxidase | | | *Escherichia coli* | VP | | | *Enterobacter aerogenes* | MR | | | *Enterococcus faecalis* | Catalase | | **Explanation:** - **Gram Stain**: A test that distinguishes bacteria by the chemical and physical properties of their cell walls. - **Oxygen Requirement**: Determines whether the organism is aerobic, anaerobic, or facultative. - **Acid-Fast Stain**: Used to identify acid-fast organisms like mycobacteria. - **Hemolysis**: Refers to the ability of an organism to lyse red blood cells. It’s a characteristic often used to differentiate bacterial species. - **Cell Morphology**: Observes the shape and size of the cells. - **Oxidase**: Tests for cytochrome c oxidase enzyme presence, indicating certain bacteria groups. - **VP (Voges-Proskauer Test)**: Detects acetoin in a bacterial broth culture. - **MR (Methyl Red Test)**: Indicates mixed acid fermentation. - **Catalase**: Enzyme test that breaks down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Note: The "Result" column is empty, indicating this section is reserved for the outcomes of the respective tests.
