Methyl Red Voges-Proskauer Test Questions A.What is meant by the term biochemical profile? Biochemical profile is a variety of biochemical tests. These various tests are used to measure the constituents of plasma and serum in blood. B.What metabolic end product does the MR test for? The metabolic end product MR tests for are the different bacteria’s related to their individual patterns of glucose metabolism. C.What does an orange color indicate as a result for an MR test? An orange color as a result

Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most prevalent microorganisms found on the human skin and in the mucous membranes‚ however‚ it is a typically overlooked bacterium because there is very little that is known about it. Though it is not as aggressive as its cousin Staphylococcus aureus‚ Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequent cause for nosocomial pathogens‚ especially among newborns‚ the elderly‚ and anyone who has a compromised immune system. These infections are usually associated

Methyl Red and Voges-Proskauer Test The Methyl Red test shows which bacteria are creating stable acids through mixed acid fermentation of glucose. This helps to identify enteric bacteria by examining how they metabolise glucose. Every enteric bacteria first produces pyruvic acid from metabolism of glucose. A methyl red positive enteric bacteria‚ uses the mixed acid pathway when breaking down pyruvic acid to different acids‚ like lactic‚ acetic‚ and formic acids. The Voges-Proskauer test determines

Performed: September 9 ‚2011 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF THE ACID DISSOCIATION CONSTANT OF METHYL RED M.C. Caligagan ‚M.N.Q. Tolentino and M.Q. Clores Institute of Chemistry‚ College of Science University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City‚ Philippines Received :September 21‚2011 ABSTRACT This experiment aims to determine the acid dissociation constant value of Methyl Red by means of spectrophotometry. Ten samples were spectrophotometrically analyzed under a UV-Vis spectrophotometer

In this experiment‚ we used methyl benzoate from the last experiment with HNO3 and H2SO4 to synthesize methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. First we added methyl benzoate to 12 mL cooled conc. Sulfuric acid in a flask. In a separate flask‚ we made a solution of 4 mL conc. Sulfuric acid and 4 mL nitric acid and then added dropwise to the solution of methyl benzoate in an ice bath on a stir plate while maintaining the temperature of reaction between 5-15 °C. After the addition was complete we took the flask out

para-hydroxybenzoic acid‚ which is why they are collectively called parabens. However‚ in contrast to its cousins‚ ethylparaben‚ butylparaben‚ and propylparaben‚ methylparaben receives its specific name owing to the fact that its chemical structure contains the methyl alkyl group. Methylparaben is found in several fruits‚ in particular blueberries‚ where it acts as an antimicrobial agent. Methylparaben is an anti-fungal agent often used in a variety of cosmetics and personal-care products. Methylparaben is commonly

This project’s purpose is to find the effects of UV light on Staphylococcus epidermidis‚ furthermore recognized as staph infection. Staph infection is an infection usually acquired on the skin that can promote fever‚ nausea‚ pain‚ boils‚ and can lead to MRSA‚ which can lead to death. Because there is no cure for staph infection‚ this experiment called for research on clinical trials. A clinical trial was established that used blue light therapy to delay and kill the growth of staph infection. Coincidentally

In this experiment the initial mass of the sodium carbonate used was 2.69g. In each titration‚ 3 drops of methyl orange was added to the sodium carbonate solution. With this information the titration can begin‚ and the results obtained are shown below: Titration readings Titration Rough 1 2 3 4 5 Initial 0.00 4.30 22.00 21.00 15.00 25.90 Final 4.30 22.00 38.60 37.60 32.60 42.20 Titre (cm3) 4.30 17.70 16.60 16.60 17.60 16.30 Therefore‚ the average titre would be calculated as follows;
