Thank you. 

**Transcription of Text and Chart Explanation**

---

The table at the top of the image provides a record of KIA (Kligler Iron Agar) results. The instructions require indicating the color of the slant and butt of various organisms (Yellow/Red/Fuchsia), whether the medium has been disrupted with bubbles, cracks, or has lifted (Y/N), and if black precipitate is present (Y/N).

**Organism:**

- **Alcaligenes faecalis**
  - Slant Color: Red
  - Butt Color: Red
  - Disrupted Medium: N
  - Black Precipitate: N

- **Citrobacter freundii**
  - Slant Color: Yellow
  - Butt Color: Yellow
  - Disrupted Medium: Y
  - Black Precipitate: Y

- **Escherichia coli**
  - Slant Color: Yellow
  - Butt Color: Yellow
  - Disrupted Medium: Y
  - Black Precipitate: N

- **Proteus vulgaris**
  - Slant Color: Red
  - Butt Color: Yellow
  - Disrupted Medium: N
  - Black Precipitate: N

**Analysis Instructions:**

Based on the results in the table above, determine each species' ability to ferment glucose or lactose, if carbon dioxide gas is produced, and its ability to produce hydrogen sulfide gas.

**Escherichia coli:**

- **Ferments glucose and lactose**: Yes (indicated by yellow slant and butt)
- **Produces carbon dioxide gas**: Yes (indicated by disruption of the medium)
- **Produces hydrogen sulfide gas**: No (no black precipitate present)
