The TSI media will be black in color after 48 hours incubation of proteus vulgaris gram.
It swarms the whole plate.
It is a special kind of growth of highly motile bactria on culture media. its look like a top view of lady wearing a skirt, so its also known as skirt like appearance. best example of swarmiong growth is Proteus vulgaris.
differential.
there's an excellent explanation here http://forums.biotechinstitute.org/showthread.php?t=93
Proteus is phenylalanine deaminase, urease and indole positive Salmonella negative. Proteus swarm on nonselective media, Salmonella does not.
There are various types of microbiological media used for culturing microorganisms, such as agar plates for solid media, broth for liquid media, selective media to encourage growth of specific organisms, differential media to distinguish different types of organisms based on their growth characteristics, and enrichment media to help grow fastidious microbes.
Pure broth culture is a liquid media, used to propagate large numbers of microorganisms. Where as Slant cultures are semi solid media containing a solidifying agent (usually agar). Can be used in determining bacterial motility and in promoting anaerobic growth.
The six qualities included in a description of colony morphology are texture, size, shape, pigment, speed of growth, and patterns of growth in broth and gelatin media.
Because it is a poor artificial media that requires the addition of one or more growth supporting substances.
If the broth contains only saline and lactose, it can be autoclaved. However, it it contains peptide growth factors depending on the application, it will have to be filtered prior to use since protein-containing media is sensitive to heat.
PROTEUS SP IS A COLIFORM WHICH HAS A CHARACTERISTIC SMELL AND SWARMS WHEN CULTURED, UNLESS AN ELECTROLITE DEFFICIENT MEDIA IS USED. THIS ORGANISM OFTEN CAUSES UTI'S.
