Does micrococcus luteus grow on msa plates?
Yes micrococcus luteus, along with micrococcus roseus both grow on MSA. But, they do not fermente on this agar giving a negative test. However, Staphylococcus aureus grows on MSA and fermentes giving a positive test. *Side note* MSA plate is used to test for G+ coccus. The plate contains salt and salt "loving" bacteria will grow and show yellow colony, example of S. aureus.
Do Gram negative organisms grow on MSA plates?
Yes
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR AN ORGANISM TO BE POSITIVE FOR GLUCOSE USE IN A PHENOL RED TEST BUT NEGATIVE IN THE METHYL RED TEST?
Methyl red differs from Phenolred (which is used in the fermentation test and the MSA plates) in that it is yellow at pH 6.2 and above and red at pH 4.4 and below. Phenol red turns yellow below a pH of 6.8. If you get a positive with methyl red and a negative with phenol red, the pH has to be between 6.7 and 6.1.
Does S epidermidis test positive for MSA agar test?
Yes. S. epidermidis is a bacterial species found commonly on the skin as a part of a human's natural bioflora. Sweating releases salt and causes the surface of our skin to be very salty, providing an environment in which many bacteria would normally perish. S. epidermidis, however, prefers such an environment and thus it is also able to grow regularly when cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar plates.

Does s. epidermidis grow on msa?
Streptococcus cannot grow on MSA plates because MSA is a selective and differential media. It is selective because only certain microorganisms can grow on it due to its high NaCl content, in which this concentration - near 10% in MSA - has an inhibitory effect on most bacteria, such as Streptococci.
