You probably got a false negative. M. luteus should be oxidase +. To determine M. luteus do a MSA plate which should not produce acid and barley grow. That means the plate will look red with a streak of yellow colonies due to the fact that M. luteus produces a yellow pigment.
Gram Positive.
Aerobe
No Micrococcus luteus is aerobic organism, Staphylococcus aureus is often mistaken for Micrococcus luteus but its main difference is that it is a Facultative anaerobe
no
Micrococcus luteus is a Gram-positive, to Gram-variable, nonmotile, spherical, saprotrophic bacterium that belongs to the family Micrococcaceae. It produces coagulase which is a protein enzyme that enables the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin.
Micrococcus leteus is negative to VP test.
Gram Positive.
Aerobe
staphylococcus are Gram negative cocci, and division in them occur in multiple axes which result in the formation of grape-like cluster when observed under light microscope but streptococcus divide in single axis only therefore produce a chain of bacteria
Micrococcus luteus is a spherical, saprotrophic bacterium. It is found in soil, dust, water, air, and in the mammalian skin.
No Micrococcus luteus is aerobic organism, Staphylococcus aureus is often mistaken for Micrococcus luteus but its main difference is that it is a Facultative anaerobe
yes
It is aerobic.
tetrad or packet
no
200c to 450c --> mesophile
It is yellow, but after gram staining it turns purple.
