If the field diameter is 6 mm at the 3X objective, what is the field size at the 40X objective?
A) 0.045 mm
B) 4.5 mm
C) 0.45 mm
D) 45 mm

If you did a catalase test from the bacteria on this blood plate and it bubbled, which species is Staphylococcus?
A) The blue species
B) Both species
C) Cannot tell
D) The cream species
C) Cannot tell
The blood plate can give a false positive result. All staph species are cat +, but not all cat + are staphs, so even if the plate were not a problem, you could not say whether or not these were Staphs without getting more info.
Which of these is the correct equation for the catalase test?
A) hydrogen peroxide —–> carbon dioxide and water
B) 2 H2O2 ——> 2 H2O + 2 O2
C) 2 H2O2 ——> 2 H2O + O2
D) H2O2 ——> 2 H2O + 2 O2
C) 2 H2O2 ——> 2 H2O + O2
Which plate should you NOT use for a catalase test?
A) chocolate plate
B) MacConkeys plate
C) T soy plate
D) blood plate
D) blood plate

A) 1
B) 4
C) 3
D) 2
D) 2
How many times do you add bacterial culture to a Petri dish when performing a streak isolation?
A) 4
B) 3
C) 2
D) 1
D) 1

E) B
A) C
Fill in the blank for the missing molecule below in the catalase enzyme-mediated reaction.
2 ________ —————-> 2H2O + O2
H2O2
A positive reaction for catalase appears as…….
A) a bright pink
B) no bubbles
C) purple spots
D) bubbles
D) bubbles
If an organism is oxidase negative it is an anaerobe.
A) Cannot tell
B) True
C) False
A) Cannot tell
Reason: indophenol oxidase is pretty rare and most species are ox-, no matter what oxygen utilization category they are in.

A) Yes, they are isolated enough.
B) No, they are not isolated enough.
A) Yes, they are isolated enough.
Which of these is a negative oxidase result?
A
