In the Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, what does a test result with 'ds', '(+)' or 'w' mean?

Look just below the table; it should have a key there, saying what % of positivity each symbol refers to.  I do not have a Bergey's here at home; we have them in the lab.\n\nAFAICR, each symbol refers to a % of that genus (or species??) which is positive for each biochemical test.  For example, D means most ... something like 90% or more, while d means a minority are positive, say 10% or less.  It is hard to remember, here at home.\n\nAs I said, the book tells you (AFAICR).

The purpose of this test is to determine an organisms ability to remove an amine group from the amino acid phenylalanine using the enzyme phenylalanine deaminase.  These bacteria include Proteus, Providencia, and Morganella of the family Enterobacteriacea, and some species of Moraxella.\nPhenylalanine is in the agar.  When an organism that can deaminate it is inoculated onto the agar the phenylalanine is converted into phenylpyruvic acid.  This acid reacts with an added ferric chloride reagent to give a color change to dark green (indicates a positive test). No color change after adding ferric chloride is a negative test.

The subscrips indicate that mulitples of the symbol they follow.  Like the AgNO3 the three means that there are 3 oxygens.  The two after the () means there are three whole molecule though, that can be placed infront as a coeffient.

i'm not sure if it's the "dash" technique, but sometimes, when u're writing genotypes and the knowledge of only one allele is req'd... u can just write A/- ... meaning A/A or A/a.\n\nhope that's useful.

The two bars afterwards are ascii characters that reprsent cariage returns or it tells them when the enter key was pressed.  Such as:\n\nThis here | would be\n\nThis here\nwould be\n\nSo you would have to input the test file into a string and then parse out the | with a valid carriage return character before applying it to the text box.  Hope this helps.

According to the CDC system, the genus Salmonella contains\ntwo species, each of which contains multiple serotypes\n(Table 1). The two species are S. enterica, the type species, and\nS. bongori, which was formerly subspecies V (19, 21). S. enterica is divided into six subspecies (4, 19), which are referred to by a Roman numeral and a name (I, S. enterica subsp. enterica; II, S. enterica subsp. salamae; IIIa, S. enterica subsp. arizonae; IIIb, S. enterica subsp. diarizonae; IV, S. enterica subsp. houtenae; and VI, S. enterica subsp. indica). S. enterica subspecies are differentiated biochemically (4, 19) and by genomic relatedness (6, 19, 21).\n\nCDC uses names for serotypes in subspecies I\n(for example, serotypes Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Typhi, and\nCholeraesuis) and uses antigenic formulas for unnamed serotypes described after 1966 in subspecies II, IV, and VI and in\nS. bongori (see discussion below). The name usually refers to\nthe geographic location where the serotype was first isolated.\nFor named serotypes, to emphasize that they are not separate\nspecies, the serotype name is not italicized and the first letter\nis capitalized (Table 2). At the first citation of a serotype the\ngenus name is given followed by the word “serotype” or the\nabbreviation “ser.” and then the serotype name (for example,\nSalmonella serotype or ser. Typhimurium). Subsequently, the name may be written with the genus followed directly by the\nserotype name (for example, Salmonella Typhimurium or\nS. Typhimurium) (18, 19). CDC uses the format for formula\ndesignations used by the WHO Collaborating Centre. Both\nversions of the serotype name are listed as key words in manuscripts to facilitate the search and retrieval of information on\nSalmonella serotypes from electronic databases.\n\nSerotype names designated by antigenic formulae include\nthe following: (i) subspecies designation (subspecies I through\nVI), (ii) O (somatic) antigens followed by a colon, (iii) H\n(flagellar) antigens (phase 1) followed by a colon, and (iv) H\nantigens (phase 2, if present) (for example, Salmonella serotype\nIV 45:g,z51:2. For formulae of serotypes in S. bongori, V\nis still used for uniformity (for example, S. V 61:z35:2).\n\nBefore 1966 all serotypes in all subspecies except subspecies\nIIIa and IIIb were given names. In 1966 the WHO Collaborating\nCentre began naming serotypes only in subspecies I and\ndropped all existing serotype names in subspecies II, IV, and\nVI and S. bongori from the Kauffmann-White scheme. For\nsurveillance purposes, i.e., for compatibility with old data, as\nstated above, CDC continues to use pre-1966 names for serotypes in subspecies II, IV, and VI and S. bongori (2, 3, 4). A\ncommon example of an old serotype name used at CDC and\nseen in the United States is S. ser. Marina (S. IV 48:g,z51:2).\nThe majority (59%) of the 2,463 Salmonella serotypes belong\nto S. enterica subsp. I (S. enterica subsp. enterica) (19).\nWithin S. enterica subsp. I, the most common O-antigen serogroups are A, B, C1, C2, D and E. Strains in these serogroups cause approximately 99% of Salmonella infections in humans and warm-blooded animals (19). Serotypes in S. enterica subspecies II (S. enterica subsp. salamae), IIIa (S. enterica subsp. arizonae), IIIb (S. enterica subsp. diarizonae), IV (S. enterica subsp. houtenae), IV (S. enterica subsp. indica), and S. bongori are usually isolated from cold-blooded animals and the environment but rarely from humans (10).

I actually just had this happen to me.  It was mid trimester and I was doing really bad in Chemistry.  I spoke to the Dean, and he said that a "W" looks better than an "F".  However, he said more than one or two "W"'s doesn't look good either.  He definitely assured me that on won't have that much of an impact.\n\nBTW - I'm applying to dental school, and the Dean said it still wouldn't matter that much.

If Bad a$$ was one word, then kick a@@ would be one word as well. That said, it's two words. Since it's not a word you'll find in the dictionary, you can spin it how ever you like. Both are exceptable.

[i]  = I\n[d]s = does (without the s it would be do)\n[t]  = to or the\n[o] = of\n\nAnyway I think all the [ ] are suppose to be abbreviations and these are the most likely.◘
