Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The test for the presence of the enzyme urease is an automated biochemical test that allows for quick identification of microbes by changing the color of the media from yellow to red, indicating the presence of urease-producing microbes. Option B is describing the use of fluorescent antibodies for identifying specific antigens and not the microbe itself. Option C describes the use of DNA probes that can detect specific microbial genes, but it is not an automated biochemical test. Option D describes the use of restriction enzymes and gel electrophoresis for DNA fingerprinting, which is a useful tool for identifying strains and tracking outbreaks, but it is not automated.
