What agar is the best for staphylococcus aureus?
Mannitol salt agar is one of the best agar fro isolation of Staphylococcus aureus
Can serratia marcescens grow in mannitol salt agar?
No it doesn't because it doesn't ferment mannitol. P. mirabilis can actually grow on a MAC agar, but it is colorless. I actually had this lab in Micro260 today.An MSA agar has 7% high salt concentration and provides growth for S. aureus bacteria turning it yellow/gold. An MSA agar is selective for osmotolerant bacteria meaning for bacteria that can grow in different salt concentrations, and it's differential because it can ferment mannitol.
Purpose of high salt concentration in the mannitol salt agar medium?
Mannitol salt agar (MSA) contains high levels of salt because it inhibits the growth of most bacteria. This makes it an excellent medium to test for Staphylococci and Micrococcaceae as they are tolerant of high levels of NaCl.
Compare the composition of blood plasma and urine?
You shouldnt need the internet to answer these questions. Read your notes or a book like they did before computers were around.
Why does gram-positive bacteria grow in mannitol agar?
Gram-positive bacteria grows in Mannitol agar because it contains a high level of salt. This type of agar allows only certain types of bacteria to grow, making it selective.Ê
Is mannitol salt agar complex or synthetic?
Mannitol Salt Agar Complex is a synthetic medium because it is prepared from pure chemical substances and the exact composition of the medium is known.
Minimal salt agar that contains detergent as a carbon source is selective or differential?
Minimal salts agar is selective and differential. It grows gram positive bacteria and turns different color depending on what the specimen is.
What is in an isotonic glucose solution?
Isotonic solution is very close to sea water in composition and also concentration. Glucose isotonic solution is an electrolyte solution used for re-hydration. It contains salt, water and glucose.
What agar is the best for staphylococcus aureus?
Mannitol salt agar is one of the best agar fro isolation of Staphylococcus aureus
Does bacillus subtilis ferment acid from mannitol salt agar?
In my result i isolate bacillus sp on mannitol salt agar but i expect that this media has deoration or expaired

What glucose and salt?
Glucose and salt are two very important components of blood. Glucose is for energy and salt makes electrolyte that helps transmit nerve impulses.

Is Mannitol salt agar a selective or a differential medium?
Both
Do compounds have variable composition?
No. Compounds have a definite composition, therefore they are pure substances. For example, water always has the formula H2O, sodium chloride (common table salt) always has the formula NaCl, and glucose (blood sugar) always has the formula C6H12O6.
Can Streptococcus grow on MSA?
MSA stands for mannitol salt agar. Streptococcus can not grow on this type of agar. This is because it has a very high salt content, which allows only certain microorganisms to grow in it.
Can Klebsiella pneumoniae grow on Mannitol salt agar?
No, K. pneumoniae will not grow on Mannitol Salt Agar- gram negative organisms cannot grow on MSA, and K. pneumoniae is gram negative.
