staphylococcus are Gram negative cocci, and division in them occur in multiple axes which result in the formation of grape-like cluster when observed under light microscope but streptococcus divide in single axis only therefore produce a chain of bacteria

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.

Micrococcus kristinae versus micrococcus luteus?

The easiest way to differentiate them is by color. Both are pigment producing, and while M. luteus has yellow colonies, M. roseus has pink colonies. If you need a more scientifically valid way of differentiating them, try using a nitrate reduction test. M. luteus can not reduce nitrate while M. roseus can.
