Give three reasons why it is difficult to identify a mineral by its color alone?

What is Staphylococcus aureus sim test results?
Staphylococcus aureus is negative for motility, and positive for the indole production. The SIM test tests for sulfur reduction, indole production and motility. Positive for indole production means tryptophan is broken down into indole and pyruvate and will give a red color. Motility, you will see the bacteria move outside of the stab. Positive for sulfur reduction will give a black color in the medium.
