Match the bacteria with their common characteristics: Bacillus subtilis | Endospore-forming, Proteus vulgaris | Lactose fermenter, Enterobacter aerogenes | Gram-positive cocci, Staphylococcus aureus | Gram-negative bacilli, Escherichia coli | Known for urease production, Pseudomonas aeruginosa | Opportunistic pathogen.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match specific types of bacteria with their common characteristics. The goal is to correctly associate each bacterium with the description provided.
Answer
Bacillus subtilis: Endospore-forming, Proteus vulgaris: Urease production, Enterobacter aerogenes: Lactose fermenter, Staphylococcus aureus: Gram-positive cocci, Escherichia coli: Gram-negative bacilli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Opportunistic pathogen.
Bacillus subtilis: Endospore-forming, Proteus vulgaris: Known for urease production, Enterobacter aerogenes: Lactose fermenter, Staphylococcus aureus: Gram-positive cocci, Escherichia coli: Gram-negative bacilli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Opportunistic pathogen.
Answer for screen readers
Bacillus subtilis: Endospore-forming, Proteus vulgaris: Known for urease production, Enterobacter aerogenes: Lactose fermenter, Staphylococcus aureus: Gram-positive cocci, Escherichia coli: Gram-negative bacilli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Opportunistic pathogen.
More Information
Each bacterium matches with a specific characteristic: Bacillus subtilis is known for forming endospores, Proteus vulgaris for urease production, Enterobacter aerogenes ferments lactose, Staphylococcus aureus is Gram-positive cocci, Escherichia coli is Gram-negative bacilli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen.
Tips
A common mistake is misidentifying the Gram reaction of bacteria. Remember that Staphylococcus aureus is Gram-positive and Escherichia coli is Gram-negative, which is often confused.
