oxidase enzymes play a vital role in the operation of the electron transport system during aerobic respiration.Cytochrome oxidase catalyzez the oxidation of a reduced cytochrome by moleculer oxygen,resulting in the formation of h2o or h2o2.Aerobic bacteria,as well as some facultative anaerobes and microaerophiles,exhibit oxidase activity.The oxidase test aids in differentiation among members of the genera neisseria and pseudomonas,which are oxidase positive,and enterobacteriaceae,which ae oxidase negative.The ability of bacteria to produce cytochome oxidase can be determined by the sddition of the test reagent aminodimethylaniline oxalate to colonies growwn on a plate medium.This light pink reagent serves as an artificial substrate,donating electrons and thereby becoming oxidized to a blackish compound in the presence of the oxidase and free oxygen.Following the addition of the test reagent,the development of pink,then maroon,and finally dark purple coloration on the surface of the colonies is indicative of the absence of oxidase activity and is a negative test.
