Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

Exercise 5-21 Micro Lab: Triple Sugar Iron Agar / Kligler Iron Agar

front 1

Triple Sugar Iron Agar

back 1

a rich medium designed to differentiate bacteria on the basis of glucose fermentation, lactose fermentation, sucrose fermentation, and sulfur reduction

front 2

What does triple sugar iron agar contain?

back 2

Three carbohydrates,
animal proteins as sources of carbon and nitrogen,
ferrous sulfate and sodium thiosulfate as sources of oxidized sulfur

front 3

______ is the pH indicator and _____ is the hydrogen sulfide indicator

back 3

phenol red
ferrous sulfate

front 4

How is triple sugar iron agar prepared?

back 4

in a shallow agar slant with a deep butt. it is inoculated by a stab in the agar butt followed by a fishtail streak of the slant

front 5

Incubation period for triple sugar iron agar

back 5

18-24 hrs for carbohydrate fermentation
48 hrs for hydrogen sulfide reactions

front 6

reversion

back 6

TSIA is inoculated with a glucose only fermenter. As the glucose diminishes, the organisms located in the aerobic region (slant) will break down amino acids, producing NH3 and raising the pH. This process takes 18-24 hours and only occurs in the slant because of the anaerobic conditions in the butt.

front 7

TSIA slant with a red slant and yellow butt indicates what?

back 7

that the organism ferments glucose but not lactose

front 8

Organisms that ferment both glucose and lactose/sucrose do what to the medium?

back 8

turn it yellow throughout

front 9

_______ produced by fermentation of any of the carbs will appear as fissures in the medium or will lift the agar off the bottom of the tube

back 9

gas

front 10

Why is hydrogen sulfide produced?

back 10

by the reduction of thiosulfate in the medium or by the breakdown of cysteine in the peptone

front 11

black precipitate in the medium is an indication of what?

back 11

sulfur reduction and fermentation

front 12

red slant indicates what?
yellow slant indicates what?

back 12

red - glucose fermentation
yellow - glucose and lactose fermentation
