| Voges-Proskauer test An assay that tests the ability of an organism to produce acetoin from glucose via the butanediol fermentation pathway. | METPO:1005016 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| Voges-Proskauer test negative A phenotype in which an organism tests negative in the Voges-Proskauer test. | METPO:1005018 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| Voges-Proskauer test positive A phenotype in which an organism tests positive in the Voges-Proskauer test, indicating acetoin production. | METPO:1005017 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 1 |
| catalase negative Test-outcome phenotype where the catalase test yields a negative result (no bubbling on H2O2). The underlying enzyme-organism relation should additionally be asserted via <organism> METPO:2000303 'does not show activity of' GO:0004096 'catalase activity'. | METPO:1007084 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 2 |
| catalase test A biochemical test that detects catalase enzyme activity by exposing cells to hydrogen peroxide and observing for visible bubbling. The test outcome (positive or negative) is captured by its child classes; this class itself does not assert that the organism has catalase activity. | METPO:1007080 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 2 |
| circular colony A colony shape that has a regular round outline. | METPO:1007064 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 1 |
| coagulase negative Test-outcome phenotype where the coagulase test yields a negative result. The underlying enzyme-organism relation should additionally be asserted via <organism> METPO:2000303 'does not show activity of' <coagulase enzyme term> once a sufficiently specific enzyme term is selected. | METPO:1007091 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 2 |
| coagulase positive Test-outcome phenotype where the coagulase test yields a positive result (plasma clotting). The underlying enzyme-organism relation should additionally be asserted via <organism> METPO:2000302 'shows activity of' <coagulase enzyme term> once a sufficiently specific enzyme term is selected (no GO/EC term currently exists at the bacteriological coagulase test granularity). | METPO:1007090 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 2 |
| colony morphology A phenotype characterized by macroscopic colony characteristics such as shape, margin, elevation, surface, colour, and size. | METPO:1007062 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| colony shape A colony morphology characterized by the overall macroscopic colony outline as observed on solid medium. | METPO:1007063 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| epibiont phenotype A phenotype characterized by a microbe that lives on the external surface of a host organism or substrate, as distinct from endosymbionts (which live inside the host); captures host-association mode, not specific host taxonomy. | METPO:1007093 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 2 |
| filamentous colony A colony shape that has a thread-like or filamentous outline. | METPO:1007066 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| fried-egg-shaped colony A colony shape that has a raised opaque centre and a translucent peripheral zone, resembling a fried egg. | METPO:1007069 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 1 |
| generalist A phenotype describing an organism with a broad ecological niche, capable of thriving across diverse environments or utilizing varied resources. | METPO:1005040 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| hemolysis A phenotype describing the ability of an organism to lyse red blood cells. | METPO:1005025 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 1 |
| hemolytic A phenotype in which an organism is capable of lysing red blood cells. | METPO:1005026 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| indole test An assay that tests the ability of an organism to produce indole from tryptophan. | METPO:1005010 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| indole test negative A phenotype in which an organism tests negative in the indole test, indicating it does not produce indole from tryptophan. | METPO:1005012 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| indole test positive A phenotype in which an organism tests positive in the indole test, indicating it produces indole from tryptophan. | METPO:1005011 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 1 |
| irregular colony A colony shape that has an irregular (non-round, non-rhizoid) outline. | METPO:1007065 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| methyl red test An assay that tests the ability of an organism to produce and maintain stable acid end products from glucose fermentation. | METPO:1005013 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| methyl red test negative A phenotype in which an organism tests negative in the methyl red test. | METPO:1005015 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 0 |
| methyl red test positive A phenotype in which an organism tests positive in the methyl red test, indicating mixed acid fermentation. | METPO:1005014 | OTHER | CLASS | 0 | 1 |
