MSA stands for mannitol salt agar. Streptococcus can not grow on this type of agar. This is because it has a very high salt content, which allows only certain microorganisms to grow in it.


How does Streptococcus and Escherichia oxygen requirements differ?

Since these species are both facultative anaerobes, both types of bacteria are capable of utilizing fermentation for their energy needs, as opposed to respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen.


Bergey's Manual describes Streptococcus and Escherichia as faculative anaerobes How do the oxygen requirements of these organisms differ...Which one could correctly be called an aerotolerant anaerobe?

Streptococcus is an obligate anaerobe and therefore lacks catalase. However, Streptococcus would be considered an aerotolerant anaerobe because, even though it lacks catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide, it also lacks the cytochrome system that would produce hydrogen peroxide in the first place. Therefore, it is not aerobic, but it is tolerant of aerobic conditions.


How does streptococcus grow?

Streptococcus grows mainly in pairs or chains on agar plates with blood. It requires nutritionally rich media with blood or serum components, as well as proper temperature and pH conditions. Streptococcus can grow aerobically or anaerobically, depending on the specific species.
