Voges-Proskauer test

An assay that tests the ability of an organism to produce acetoin from glucose via the butanediol fermentation pathway.

METPO:1005016OTHERCLASS00
Voges-Proskauer test negative

A phenotype in which an organism tests negative in the Voges-Proskauer test.

METPO:1005018OTHERCLASS00
Voges-Proskauer test positive

A phenotype in which an organism tests positive in the Voges-Proskauer test, indicating acetoin production.

METPO:1005017OTHERCLASS01
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:1007084OTHERCLASS02
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:1007080OTHERCLASS02
circular colony

A colony shape that has a regular round outline.

METPO:1007064OTHERCLASS01
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:1007091OTHERCLASS02
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:1007090OTHERCLASS02
colony morphology

A phenotype characterized by macroscopic colony characteristics such as shape, margin, elevation, surface, colour, and size.

METPO:1007062OTHERCLASS00
colony shape

A colony morphology characterized by the overall macroscopic colony outline as observed on solid medium.

METPO:1007063OTHERCLASS00
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:1007093OTHERCLASS02
filamentous colony

A colony shape that has a thread-like or filamentous outline.

METPO:1007066OTHERCLASS00
fried-egg-shaped colony

A colony shape that has a raised opaque centre and a translucent peripheral zone, resembling a fried egg.

METPO:1007069OTHERCLASS01
generalist

A phenotype describing an organism with a broad ecological niche, capable of thriving across diverse environments or utilizing varied resources.

METPO:1005040OTHERCLASS00
hemolysis

A phenotype describing the ability of an organism to lyse red blood cells.

METPO:1005025OTHERCLASS01
hemolytic

A phenotype in which an organism is capable of lysing red blood cells.

METPO:1005026OTHERCLASS00
indole test

An assay that tests the ability of an organism to produce indole from tryptophan.

METPO:1005010OTHERCLASS00
indole test negative

A phenotype in which an organism tests negative in the indole test, indicating it does not produce indole from tryptophan.

METPO:1005012OTHERCLASS00
indole test positive

A phenotype in which an organism tests positive in the indole test, indicating it produces indole from tryptophan.

METPO:1005011OTHERCLASS01
irregular colony

A colony shape that has an irregular (non-round, non-rhizoid) outline.

METPO:1007065OTHERCLASS00
methyl red test

An assay that tests the ability of an organism to produce and maintain stable acid end products from glucose fermentation.

METPO:1005013OTHERCLASS00
methyl red test negative

A phenotype in which an organism tests negative in the methyl red test.

METPO:1005015OTHERCLASS00
methyl red test positive

A phenotype in which an organism tests positive in the methyl red test, indicating mixed acid fermentation.

METPO:1005014OTHERCLASS01
non-hemolytic

A phenotype in which an organism does not lyse red blood cells.

METPO:1005027OTHERCLASS00
osmotic tolerance

A phenotype characterized by the ability to grow under high osmotic pressure (non-NaCl).

METPO:1007073OTHERCLASS01
oxidase negative

Test-outcome phenotype where the oxidase test yields a negative result. The underlying enzyme-organism relation should additionally be asserted via <organism> METPO:2000303 'does not show activity of' GO:0004129 'cytochrome-c oxidase activity'.

METPO:1007086OTHERCLASS02
oxidase test

A biochemical test that detects cytochrome c oxidase activity using a redox indicator. The test outcome (positive or negative) is captured by its child classes; this class itself does not assert oxidase activity.

METPO:1007081OTHERCLASS02
punctiform colony

A colony shape that is very small (pinpoint), typically <1 mm in diameter.

METPO:1007067OTHERCLASS00
rhizoid colony

A colony shape that has a branching, root-like outline.

specialist

A phenotype describing an organism with a narrow ecological niche, restricted to a limited range of environments or resources.
