APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Biochemical reactions used in biochemical tests depend on the presence of such bacteria. Such biochemical tests have been designed to measure the levels of bacterial enzymes which can be interpreted to accurately identify the species of bacteria they have been produced by.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biochemical tests are used to identify bacterial species by differentiating them on the basis of biochemical activities. The difference in protein and fat metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme production, compound utilization ability, etc. are some factors that aid in bacterial identification.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biochemical Tests Used to Identify Microbes To test whether bacteria contain a catalase enzyme, a microbiologist drops hydrogen peroxide into a smear of bacteria on a microscope slide. If the bacteria contain catalase, the mixture bubbles as the hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Urease test This test is used to identify bacteria capable of hydrolyzing urea using the enzyme urease. It is commonly used to distinguish the genus Proteus from other enteric bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Catalase Test. Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) Blood Agar Plates (BAP) Streak-stab technique. Taxos P (optochin sensitivity testing) Taxos A (bacitracin sensitivity testing) CAMP Test. Bile Esculin Agar. More items
