You perform several tests on an unidentified bacterial species and get the results below. Based on the test results and the bacterial table, you narrow down the identity to two possible bacteria. Which test should you now do with these bacteria to narrow down the possibilities to just one bacterial species from the bacterial table? (In other words: knowing the results from which test would let you identify these bacteria?) Gram reaction result: Citrate Test (Tube B): O Nitrate reduction test O Motility test MSA plate O Glucose fermentation test
