Labset Three Worksheet
1. What is a carbohydrate profile? Why are they used as a diagnostic or identifying tool? (2)
Carbohydrate profiles are specific information on the type and amount of carbohydrate that a product contains. It is used to identify and differentiate two closely related species.
2. What are the carbohydrate profiles of the organisms you tested? (2)
The yeast carbohydrate profile came out with glucose and fructose positive and Mannitol negative. The staph epidermidis was glucose, lactose and sucrose positive and mannitol negative.
3. Why is it important not to incubate the fermentation tubes more than 24 hours?(1)
Because the sugar test will have a higher chance that the color will change and could alter the
