    7.4, and ____ between these two points.
    yellow, purple-pink, and red
  4. a ____ ___ is used to detect whether or not a bacterium produces gas
    durham tube
  5. how do you tell what the results are for a fermentation test?
    red color no gas - no fermentation

  6. what does B-galactosidase do?
    it breaks down lactose to galactose and glucose
  7. what chemical is used in B-galactosidase detection?
    ONPG
  8. how does the B-galactosidase test work?
    ONPG is cleaved into o-nitrophenol by B-galac., which yields a yellow color.
