Is micrococcus luteus a facultative anaerobe?
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
What is the name of yellow bacteria that grows on agar and eats oatmeal with one drop of water on it?
The yellow bacteria that grows on agar and feeds on oatmeal with a drop of water is likely the species Micrococcus luteus. This bacterium is commonly used in laboratory settings for its distinctive yellow pigmentation and ability to grow on simple media like agar and oatmeal.
Why is micrococcus luteus negative for oxidase?
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.
Can Lactobacillus grow on blood agar?
yes
A bacterial species that grows on blood agar but will not grow on trypticase soy agar is termed an anaerobe?
false
Does micrococcus luteus grow on msa plates?
Yes micrococcus luteus, along with micrococcus roseus both grow on MSA. But, they do not fermente on this agar giving a negative test. However, Staphylococcus aureus grows on MSA and fermentes giving a positive test. *Side note* MSA plate is used to test for G+ coccus. The plate contains salt and salt "loving" bacteria will grow and show yellow colony, example of S. aureus.

Does Haemophilus influenzae grow on blood agar?
Yes, Haemophilus influenzae can grow on blood agar.
Can Lactobacillus grow on blood agar?
yes
Does pseudomonas aeruginosa grow on blood agar?
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow on blood agar, but it may not show the typical hemolysis patterns like other bacteria. It usually appears as flat, greenish colonies on blood agar plates.
What kind of agar should be used to grow bacteria from hands before and after washing for a grade 8 science fair?
blood or nutrient agar would work, but blood agar will most likely grow more bacteria.
A bacterial species that grows on blood agar but will not grow on trypticase soy agar is termed an anaerobe?
false
What gram positive cocci fails to grow on blood agar but grows well on chocolate agar?
Haemophilus influenzae
What type of media is used for growing a culture from a throat specimen?
blood and chocolate agar plates as well as in universities laboratory Nutrient agar plates are also provided
Does micrococcus luteus grow on macconkey agar?
MacConkey agar is designed to grow Gram-negative bacteria and also contains crystal violet dye which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Since S. aureus is Gram-positive it should not grow on MacConkey agar. No. MacConkey agar inhibits MOST of the Gram-positive bacteria. There are some Gram-positive bacteria that can tolerate bile-salt are able to grow in MacConkey agar. Enterococcus and some species of Staphylococcus are able to grow in MacConkey.
