What is the color of mac conkey agar of klebsiella?
It's pink, since it can use lactose as it's nutrition source
Quantity of lactose in levine eosin methylene blue agar?
Levine eosin methylene blue agar does not contain lactose. It is a selective and differential medium used for the isolation and differentiation of gram-negative enteric bacteria based on their ability to ferment lactose. The agar contains lactose as a substrate for fermentation, but the actual quantity of lactose present in the agar may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific formulation of the medium.
What is the culture characteristic of Ecoli thst grow on macconkey agar?
E.coli shows pink colour colonies in MacConkey agar due to fermentation of lactose
How does yersinia look on nutrient agar EMB agar and MacConkey agar?
Colorless, it doesnt ferment lactose.
What is mcConkey agar?
MacConkey agar is a selective medium designed to grow Gram negavite bacteria and stain them for lactose fermentation. It contains bile salts[to inhibit most Gram negative bacteria and some species of Staphlococcus], crystal violet dye, neutral red dye ,lactose and peptone. It was first developed by Alfred Theodore MacConkey. It is used to distinguish between lactose fermenting bacteria and non lactose fermenting bacteria. By utilising the lactose available in the medium, Lac+ bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Enterobacter and Klebsiella will produce acid, which lowers the pH of the agar below 6.8 and results in the appearance of red/pink colonies. Non-Lactose fermenting bacteria such as Salmonella, Proteus species and Shigella cannot utilize lactose, and will use peptone instead. This forms ammonia, which raises the pH of the agar, and leads to the formation of white/colorless colonies
Lactose fermentation mac conkey test which color indicate a positive test?
MacConkey agar is yellow (due to the lactose in the agar). When an organism consumes the lactose, the agar turns purple. Purple indicates a positive test. If the organism doesn't use the agar, the agar stays yellow.

Does Morganella Morganii ferment lactose?

What would be possible consequence of replacing the lactose with glucose on the MacConkey Agar?
When lactose is replaced with another type of sugar like glucose in the MacConkey Agar, it is usually to identify bacteria mutations. The method to detect the fermentation in a replacement sugar solution is the same as lactose fermented solution.
What is the culture characteristic of Ecoli thst grow on macconkey agar?
E.coli shows pink colour colonies in MacConkey agar due to fermentation of lactose
What is Mcconkey agar media?
It's a differential agar used to differentiate between lactose fermenters and non-lactose fermenteing bacteria. Chemical composition of Mac Conkey agar Peptone 20.0g Trehalose 10.0g Bile salts(Difco) 1.5g Sodium Cloride 5.0 Neutral Red 0.05g Crystal Violet 0.001 Agar 15.0g Distelled water 1.0 liter pH: 7.4±0.2 (25 °C)
What is the Function of lactose in Mac Convey agar?
Lactose is used as a selective nutrient in the agar as not all microbes can process lactose
What is the purpose of lactose in the macconkey agar?
to differentiate between the lactose fermented bacteria or non- lactose fermented bacteria
