Mannitol salt agar is selective for gram positive bacteria, and differential for mannitol fermenters. Phenol red is the indicator containing the enzyme mannitol.
Bacillus subtilis typically does not ferment acid from mannitol salt agar as it lacks the enzymes needed for fermentation. Mannitol salt agar is mostly used to differentiate Staphylococcus species, which are capable of fermenting mannitol.
Yellow, which means bacteria is able to produce acids from mannitol fermentation
A color change in Mannitol salt agar is typically caused by the fermentation of mannitol by bacterial species that can utilize it as a carbon source. This fermentation process results in the production of acids, causing the pH to drop and leading to a color change in the pH indicator present in the agar (usually phenol red) from red to yellow.
no it does not cause fermentation. What do you mean by an Antigen in the context of fermentation? Zymase is the enzyme used in fermentation, when this enzyme used as an Antigen to immumize an animal, it do produce antibody against it :)

Mannitol salt agar inoculated with Micrococcus luteusshowing no fermentation of mannitol (pink medium). The colonies show a yellow pigment which is characteristic of M. luteus.
Mannitol fermentation have high levels of NaCl (7.5%) which inhibit most organism other than staphylococci aureus, contains D-mannitol, pH indicator called 'phenol red' which detect the acid production in mannitol . It also differentiate S. aureus and S. epidermidids .

Large fermentation vessels are used for commercial enzyme production.
Mannitol salt agar is used for the isolation of staphylococci which is found normally on skin (S. aureus). The selectivity is obtained by the high salt concentration that inhibits growth of many groups of bacteria.
MANNITOL IS CARBON SOURCE & AZOTOBACTER can fix nitrogen non- symbiotically
Increasing enzyme concentration typically increases the rate of fermentation by providing more enzymes to catalyze reactions. This results in faster conversion of substrates into products, speeding up the fermentation process. Beyond a certain point, further increases in enzyme concentration may not have a significant effect on the rate of fermentation due to substrate limitations or other factors.
