these are those bacteria which are not able to ferment lactose sugar hence are called non lactose fermenting or negative lactose fermenting organisms.

Why are some organisms positive in the ONPG Test but negative when tested for the ability to metabolize lactose?
ONPG is for the detection of delayed lactose fermentation.
Does enterococcus faecalis ferment lactose?
Yes. Therefore it grows on CLED media together with other gram negative organisms so you would see yellow colonies.
What types of organisms could grow on Endo agar?
Since Endo Agar selects for Gram negative (-) organisms, and differentiates for lactose, lactose += red colonies and surrounding medium, also coliforms produce a golden metallic green sheen, E. Coli is one example of a microorganism that could grow on Endo Agar.
Does Morganella Morganii ferment lactose?
no, it shows negative for lactose fermentation on MacConkey's agar
How does a strictly fermentative bacterium produce energy?
Strictly fermentative bacteria produce ATP, but only through glycolysis.

What test is used to differentiate between fermentative and oxidative metabolism?
The oxidative-fermentative test is used to determine if gram-negative bacteria metabolize carbohydrates oxidatively, by fermentation, or are nonsacchrolytic and therefore have no ability to use the carbohydrate in the media.
Is moraxella catarrhalis fermentative or oxidative?
Is moraxella catarrhalis fermentative or oxidative?

Yes. Therefore it grows on CLED media together with other gram negative organisms so you would see yellow colonies.

What are shigella organisms?
Salmonella, Shigella Organisms that ferment lactose display "nucleated colonies" - colonies with dark centers.
What kind of sugar is used by organisms?
Organisms use all types of sugars, ex. we eat lactose (milk) fructose (fruit) and sucrose (white sugar used in cooking) . Organisms break the sugars down into their parts, ex lactose= galactose+glucose
How does a strictly fermentative bacterium produce energy?
Strictly fermentative bacteria produce ATP, but only through glycolysis.
Why is lactose fermentation common among enteric gram negative bacteria?
Probably because that is where the gram negative bacteria have found a food source. Lactose is not the perfered diet, but it works and they are most likely there because they can tolerate the environment, and survive (on lactose) when their #1 food source is not available.
Does providencia bacteria ferment lactose?
No, it doesn't. After performing the Lactose fermentation test, the isolated colonies will turn yellow meaning that the test was negative.
Is emb a defined medium?
EMB is an undefined selective/differential medium. It contains aniline dyes (methylene blue and eosin), which inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria selecting for Gram-negative bacteria. EMB also contains lactose which makes the media differential based on an organisms ability to ferment lactose.
