Nutrient agar is a clear pale buff colour.
Yellowish
why colony of agrobacterium is pink on yeast extract
cream
its made from blood Blood agar is enriched because of the nutrients in it, including blood from various mammals, mainly sheep. Many types of bacteria can grow on blood agar. It is differential because organisms can be "differentiated" based on the type of hemolysis present on the agar as they grow. The blood cells in the agar are either completely lysed as the bacteria grows, which results in beta hemolysis, or a clear halo around the bacterial colony. If the blood cells are partially lysed, alpha hemolysis results and appears as a green halo around the colony. If no blood cells are lysed, this is called gamma hemolysis which is really no hemolysis at all. The colony will appear as just the colony with the blood agar unchanged. This is helpful in determining a preliminary identification of certain organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, which is beta hemolytic and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is alpha hemolytic. Differential agars help to differentiate bacterial species based on their metabolic processes as they grow. Hope this answer helped to clarify a bit more than the previous one!
Cream coloured (on nutrient agar); Flat and circular with undulate margins.
You have to make subculture from this slant and after incubation you can observe how many types of microorganisms are present in the nutrient agar slant. If you have one colony shape so you have a pure nutrient agar slant but if you have more than one type of colonies so the nutrient agar slant is contaminated.
Gram negative gastrointestinal bacteria, colonies such as E.coli can usually be isolated on simple agar plates, incubated at roughly 37 degrees. Other plates can be used if you want to isolate certain aspects of the colony, but usually agar is the first choice.
To avoid the bubbles from being count as a colony because they look exactly the same.
Agar, or agar-agar, is not a grain, but rather an extract of seaweed. Agar translates to German as Agar-Agar Try whole- or health-food stores
