Explanation

Question 9 of 23

4

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Match the IMViC test with the importance of the result it generates

E. coli is always positive: If the bacteria is positive in this test it means that the bacteria contains tryptophanase to convert tryptophan to ammonia and indole ( Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Prokauer, Citrate )
E. Coli is always positive: If the bacteria is positive in this test it means it is able to convert glucose to pyruvic acid ( Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Prokauer, Citrate )
E. Coli is negative/Klebsiella is Positive: If the bacteria is positive in this test it means that it is able to convert glucose to acetoin ( Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Prokauer, Citrate )
E. Coli is negative/Kelbsiella is positive. If the bacteria is positive in this test it means that it uses citrate as its main source of carbon ( Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Prokauer, Citrate )

Explanation
