because it is acidic?
EMB agar or Eosin methylene blue agar is to see which gram negative is lactose fermenters by colonies appearing a purple, black color. It also inhibits the growth of gram positive bacteria.
methylene blue
Yes because Methylene Blue is a symple stain which allows the staining of Cocci. The only thing that is done with the stain is to show the morphology of the bacteria, so one could tell the shape, size, and, arrangement.
Methylene blue is a solid, odorless, dark green powder at room temperature. In water this chemical compound turns into a blue solution. When methylene blue is reacted with yeast cells it inhibits the respiration which stops the cells from using hydrogen ions to release energy.
The methylene blue will make the paramecium very horny and secrete sperm.
No, it will not. Methylene blue agar is used to identify gram negative bacteria, staphylococcus is gram positive.

The Eosine Methylene Blue test is selective for only gram-negative bacteria. It is possible for gram-positive bacteria to grow, but it would barely grow. Staphylococcus are gram-positive spherical bacteria. So it would not grow on the Eosine methylene Blue Agar.

the ph of the stain on the bacteria caused by methylene blue would not affect it a lot since all methylene blue is supposed to do is make it visible on the microscope for e.g.
The dyes (eosin Y and methylene blue) inhibit the growth of gram- positive bacteria.
It is a dye found in Eosin-methylene blue (EMB) agar, which permits the differentiation between enteric lactose fermenters and nonfermenters. The dye methylene blue inhibits the growth of gram positive bacteria. While the eosin acts as a pH indicator, measuring the levels of acid production due to the fermentation of lactose.Eosin is a stain that is used for staining the cells to observe the structurea nd number of cells. It is an acidophilic stain.
# The pH will determine if the bacteria will have a particular charge. If the chromophore is a positive ion like the methylene blue in the equation shown in the reading, the stain is considered a basic stain; if it is a negative ion, it is an acidic stain. Most bacteria are stained when a basic stain permeates the cell wall and adheres by weak ionic bonds to the negative charges of the bacterial cell.

It is used in gram staining to differentiate gram negative and gram positive bacteria. After being dyed, the cells are washed with ethanol. Gram positive bacteria will retain the methylene blue due to the amount of peptidoglycan in their cell walls, where gram negative cells will not. Iodine is used as a counter stain, which is up-taken by gram negative cells. After the gram staining procedure is finished, gram positive cells will appear dark purple or blue due to the retained methylene blue. Gram negative cells will appear pink or red due to the iodine counter stain.
Methylene blue reduction is the method used to measure the bacterial density in milk. The test is evaluated in term of the amount of time required from introduction of the blue until the milk turns white.
