Is hepatitis B gram negative or gram positive?

Hepatitis B virus is not a gram-negative or gram-positive bacterium because it is a virus, not a bacteria. Viruses do not have cell walls like bacteria, so they are not classified as gram-negative or gram-positive.


Is B subtilis a gram positive or gram negative bacterium?

gram positive Exactly. When doing a gram stain on B. subtilis, this bacterium resists decolorization (keping the first stain and NOT taking on the color of the secondary stain). Therefore, this bacterium is gram (+).


What species does bacillus subtilis belong to?

It's part of the Bacillus species, which also includes B. cereus (a common bacteria in food poisoning known for being present in poorly reheated rice). These two bacteria are spore forming gram positive bacilli (rods).

Bacillus bacteria typically do not grow well on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar because they are gram-positive bacteria. EMB agar is designed to inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria and isolate gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli.

Can bacillus subtilis grow on msa?

Bacillus subtilis is generally able to grow on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) because it is a non-fermenter of mannitol. Most Bacillus species, including B. subtilis, are not able to ferment mannitol, so they can grow on MSA but will not change the color of the agar.


How do you different colony between bacillus subtilis and staphylococcus aureus in MYP agar?

Bacillus subtilis typically forms large, dry, irregular colonies with a matte appearance on MYP agar, while Staphylococcus aureus usually forms small, smooth, shiny colonies. Additionally, B. subtilis is often motile and may exhibit rhizoid growth patterns, while S. aureus is non-motile. A Gram stain can also be useful, as B. subtilis is Gram-positive and S. aureus is Gram-positive.
