Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The reason for development of system for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae.

Introduction:

Enterobacteriaceae is a large family that belongs to basically gram-negative bacteria. The members of this family are generally Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Shigella, E.coli, Proteus, and Serratia. These bacteria are found in human gut, skin, soil, sand, and diary products.

Explanation of Solution

Bacteria are generally divided into two categories, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The gram-negative bacteria are further divided into enterics and non-fermenters. From a long time, various substrates were being used to differentiate between non-fermenters and enterics. Both these groups are responsible for the cause of various bacterial infections in the human population. Therefore, it was important to develop a system that would help in identifying the members of Enterobacteriaceae.

Conclusion

The reason for development of system for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae is tp handle the diseases in humans caused by them.

Awnser these Discussion Questions Answer these discussion questions and submit them as part of your lab report. Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body? Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution. At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why does changing the pH affect the enzyme activity? Research the enzyme catalase. What is its function in the human body? What is the optimal pH for the following enzymes found in the human body? Explain. (catalase, lipase (in your stomach),…
