Decarboxylase and other Reactions of some Gram-negative Rods

Abstract: SUMMARYTests for decarboxylation of amino acids, oxidation of gluconate, growth in potassium cyanide broth, utilization of malonate and deamination of phenylalanine were applied to 269 strains of aerobic Gram-negative rods, other than members of the Enterobacteriaceae. The results indicated that some of these tests might be of value in the identification of organisms outside this family. The decarboxylase and KCN tests permitted separation of Pasteurella septica from P . pestis and P. pseudotzcberczllosis. Phe… Show more

“…M0ller's method (12) for detecting amino acid decarboxylation reactions in the Enterobacteriaceae has been adopted as the standard reference method for most clinical microbiologists (4-7, 15, 18,21). The designations of ornithine and lysine decarboxylase are very straightforward.…”
