Does enterococcus faecalis grow on macConkey agar?
this MacConkey with crystal violet can grow enterococcus
What is the indicator that turns the agar medium pink with copper?
MacConkey agar contains bile salts, lactose, peptone. crystal violet dye, and neutral red dye. The agar appears a medium pink with a copper undertone.
What is the name of the acide base color indicator found in MacConkey agar?
Lac+ bacteria is acid base color indicator that lowers the pH of the MacConkey agar. The MacConkey agar contains neutral red dye, lactose, peptone, and crystal violet dye.
What are the key components of Mitis Salivarius Agar?
crystal violet, tellurite, and trypan blue. it's used to isolate streptococcus/enterococcus strains (they absorb the trypan blue)
What is the secondary stain in gram stain procedure?
It is crystal violet & stains all cells purple.
Crystal violet in the MacConkey agar?
MacConkey's agar refers to a culture medium that is designed to selectively grow Gram-negative bacteria. It contains crystal violet dye, which inhibits certain Gram-positive bacteria.

Why coliform show pink color colony in violet red bile agar?
Violet Red Bile Agar is recommended for use in the microbiological analysis of milk and other dairy products and for use in the examination of water. Violet Red Bile Agar is a selective medium which detects the growth of lactose fermenting coliforms. Coliforms colonies lower the pH of the medium subsequently causing their colonies to look red (neutral red dye) and to precipitate the bile salts. Crystal violet and bile salts inhibit the growth of Gram positive microorganisms.
Does Staphylococcus grow on non crystal violet MacConkey agar?
Staphylococcus will not grow on Mac since crystal violet inhibits the growth of Gram positivesfmchinea: Actually some species of staphylococcus grow on MacConkey's plate including Staphylococcus aureus.
How would removing the crystal violet from MacConkey agar alter the sensitivity and specificity of the medium?
It would allow growth of Gram-positive cocci.
What is the name of the acide base color indicator found in MacConkey agar?
Lac+ bacteria is acid base color indicator that lowers the pH of the MacConkey agar. The MacConkey agar contains neutral red dye, lactose, peptone, and crystal violet dye.

crystal violet, tellurite, and trypan blue. it's used to isolate streptococcus/enterococcus strains (they absorb the trypan blue)
Why most of the gram positive bacteria cannot grow on MacConkey Agar?
gram positive bacteria cannot grow due to the presence of bile salts and crystal violet in maConkey media.
What is the secondary stain in gram stain procedure?
It is crystal violet & stains all cells purple.
What is CAS number for agar agar and vanillin crystal?
CAS Registry Numbers are unique numerical identifiers assigned by the "Chemical Abstracts Service". CAS number for Agar Agar is 9002-18-0. CAS number for vanillin crystal is 121-32-4
Will s aureus grow on a crystal violet agar plate?
Yes. S. aureus can grow on TSA plate because this plate is general purpose medium and has most nutrient for bacteria growth.
