The Eosine Methylene Blue test is selective for only gram-negative bacteria. It is possible for gram-positive bacteria to grow, but it would barely grow. Staphylococcus are gram-positive spherical bacteria. So it would not grow on the Eosine methylene Blue Agar.
No, it will not. Methylene blue agar is used to identify gram negative bacteria, staphylococcus is gram positive.
EMB Consultancy's population is 300.
EMB Consultancy was created in 1993.
yes, it may grow on EMB
EMB means endometrial biopsy.
yes it can be grow in EMB agar.
function of eosin methylene blue agar (EMB)
14k EMB means made of solid 14k gold andembossed or embedded with another matterial (enamel, gemstones...)
So here is the deal, same use different recipies different results to do the same thing. I'll just post some lecture notes and hope that helps:MacConkey's Agar (enterics)Selective for gram negativeCrystal violet and bile salts prevent non-entericsDifferential for lactose fermentationNon-fermenter --> white/clear coloniesFermenter--> red/pink coloniesEosin Methylene Blue (EMB) (Weakly selective for intestinal pathogens)Selective for gram negativeEosin and methylene blue inhibit gram positive growthDifferential for lactose fermentationLactose fermenters produce a green-metallic sheenNon-fermenters do notNOTE: EMB Agar is not in common use anymore
Lactose and sucrose provides the carbon source in EMB plates
Gram + bacteria do NOT grow on EMB agar, EMB agar inhibits their growth, and is selective for Gram -
EMB plate testing is used to look for bacteria with lactose fermentation. + test results show dark purple, blackish or metalic green bacteria colony. On EMB plate, following results showed with 4 different bacteria. * E. aerogenes: Purple colony (+) * E. coli: Metalic green colony (+) * S. aureus: No growth (-) * S. facealis: No growth (-) With the result, we can conclude that lactose fermentation occured by E. aerogeneus and E. coli.
