The organism was isolated at a latitude of 30.144673 and a longitude of -97.841463 on September 6, 2017 at 18:49:00 CST. The conditions under which the NS Mystery Organism was isolated includes it being 83 degrees fahrenheit and 33% humidity. There were 0 inches of rainfall with a solar radiation of 22.49 ms/m^2.
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance (colonial and cellular), possible antimicrobial activity etc. of the organism, and why the organism might be significant.
The colony morphology of NS Mystery Organism has a smooth surface with slightly raised elevation and an entire margin. The organism exhibits creamy yellow color.
Cellular arrangement through microscopic observation is Diplobacilli. The antimicrobial activity test has shown a zone of inhibitions with all the antibiotics used. The Organism was also sensitized by some disinfectants used including Tea tree, PepperMint, Lysol 10% and Bleach 100%.
Genome Structure
Unknown due to complications from sequence reactions.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
NS Mystery Organism shows to be Gram-positive under Gram stain reaction test with prominent purple color from Crystal Violet.
Under Capsule Stain test, the result is negative without any appearance of Capsule. The Organism also shows Negative Endospore test result under Endospore Stain test. However, under the Motility test, there was a movement away from the stab line into the medium which indicates a Positive Motility test result.
Oxidase test has shown Positive result indicating Aerobic respiration. NS Mystery Organism turns yellow/yellow under Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSI) test points out fermentation of Lactose and Glucose.
The Organism produces DNase enzyme under DNA hydrolysis test with a clearing around growth in the agar plate. It also shows to have Lipase enzyme with a weak positive test result of Lipid Hydrolysis.
Physiology and Pathogenesis
Biochemical characteristics, enzymes made, other characteristics that may be used to identify the organism; contributions to environment (if any).
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
When a gram reaction test was performed, the results of the NS Mystery Organism resulted to be gram positive.
