Best Answer

EMB (Eosin Methylene Blue) Agar

This agar plate is selective for gram-negative bacteria (one of which is E. coli). A characteristic green sheen along the streak will identify it as E. coli after a 24-48 hour incubation period. This is due to its lactose-fermenting properties which ellicits a green sheen.

What are the common biochemical tests used in identification of bateria?

The most common biochemical tests are gram stain, oxidase, catalase and coagulase tests. However, there are literally hundreds of biochemical tests that are commonly used to identify bacteria. For further information, check out MicrobeID.com, where you can find identification methods, keys, probabilistic databases, selective and differential media guides, as well as book reviews releated to bacterial identification. I would also recommend Bergey's Manual of Deterministic Bacteriology.

Why is biochemical testing important?

A biochemical test is a test used mainly in microbiology with the main intention of detecting enzyme production. Biochemical tests can also, when used correctly, further narrow the search when looking at identifying an unknown microbe. The biochemical tests can narrow the search down to a specific genus and possibly even the species of the unknown microbe. In most cases when identification of an unknown microbe is needed, the microbe will usually be a bacterium.
