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.

You must write up your OWN dichotomous key for all the possible unknown organisms listed below . The first step of the key will be the Gram Stain. Subsequent steps will include biochemical tests only. Solve the identity of an unknown bacterial specimen by creating a dichotomous key and using the staining, culturing and biochemical identification procedures .
Possible Organisms
Alcaligenes faecalis
Enterobacter aerogenes
Enterococcus faecalis
Escherichia coli
Proteus vulgaris
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Salmonella arizoniae
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Streptococcusbovis
Streptococcus pyogenes
Imp Note - the test should be performed using any of the following tests stated below.
Bile Escalin test, Oxidaze test, Blood Agar , Catalese Test, Mannitol salt agar .

Which of the following statements best describes why? a. All the microbes that were living inside the person’s body die when the person dies. b. Microbial populations grow and spread to different areas of the body after the person dies. c. Microbes in the body have fewer resources after the person dies, which increases competition. 2 Which of the following statements about cadavers (dead bodies) is most likely to be true? a. Microbial communities in and around a cadaver change over time. b. Samples taken from different cadavers always contain the same microbes. c. The microbial community found in a cadaver is very similar to the one found in a living body. 3 After death, gases build up inside the…arrow_forwardPlease write, in paragraph form, how you would identify the organism step by step.
