Bacteria are among the most diverse organisms with respect to the types of enzymes they contain.
You will be using some of the more common biochemical tests in the identification of your unknown. A variety of specialized media are designed to facilitate determining the biochemical reactions of bacteria. Most bacteria obtain energy from the oxidation of organic compounds such as sugars. Strict aerobes oxidize sugars to carbon dioxide and water through the process of aerobic respiration, using a cytochrome electron transport system and molecular oxygen as the final electron acceptor. Many strict anaerobes perform fermentation reactions.
