MICRO Lab Midterm 2 Study Guide Alexis Rousek Experiments 7-16 Vocabulary Fermentation: a metabolic process which catabolizes carbohydrates to release small amounts of energy. ATP generated through substrate level phosphorylation. Organic molecules act as electron donors and final electron acceptors. Phenol Red Broth: pH indicator, Acidic=Yellow, Neutral=Red, Basic=Red Tryptophanase: Enzyme the catalyzes the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan, deaminase. Deaminase: Enzyme that catalyzes the removal of an amino group (-NH ) fro2 an organic molecule. Indole: byproduct of the hydrolysis of tryptophan via tryptophanase, detected during IMViC tests by Kovac’s Reagent (DMABA) to indicate the presence of tryptophanase (red color) Tryptone b
