Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A foul odor is a common indication of the presence of anaerobes, especially if the culture was incubated in an anaerobic jar or bag. Growth on anaerobic plates but not on SBA plates incubated in an aerobic incubator also suggests the presence of anaerobes. Finally, colonies that fluoresce brick-red under ultraviolet light on KVLBA are often produced by anaerobes. Therefore, all three options suggest the presence of anaerobes in cultures.
