FIG 2.
Diversity in ureolytic activity across environmental isolates. (Left) Urease test broth inoculated with the strains indicated to the left. (Right) Nutrient agar plates supplemented with phenol red, calcium acetate, and urea were inoculated in the center with suspensions of the same strains. “Control” images show uninoculated media. Pink shading indicates the pH change caused by ammonia release from ureolytic activity.
