Aerobacter aerogenes produces a pink color on EMB agar due to its ability to ferment lactose, which results in the production of acid byproducts. This acidic environment causes the neutral red pH indicator in the agar to turn pink. This characteristic color change helps differentiate Aerobacter aerogenes from other bacterial species on the agar plate.
If Maconkey agar produces a yellow color, it likely indicates that lactose fermentation has occurred. This suggests that the bacteria being tested can ferment lactose, which may be helpful in identifying certain species, such as Escherichia coli.
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that appears white on mannitol salt agar due to its ability to ferment mannitol, which produces acid. This acid production causes a change in the pH indicator in the agar, turning it from red to yellow for most staphylococci, but white for S. aureus.
Approximately 2 teaspoons of agar agar powder is equivalent to 7 grams.
E. coli that grow on MacConkey agar typically exhibit lactose fermentation, causing them to produce pink or red colonies. These colonies may also appear mucoid due to the production of a polysaccharide capsule. Additionally, E. coli on MacConkey agar will typically not grow well under acidic conditions, as the agar contains crystal violet which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.
red algae Agar agar is a malay term meaning red algae. This algae which agar is extracted lives in the ocean around Malaysia
Nutrient agar is a clear pale buff colour.

Agar, or agar-agar, is not a grain, but rather an extract of seaweed. Agar translates to German as Agar-Agar Try whole- or health-food stores

The color of salmonella in bismuth sulphite agar is brown to black color with metallic sheen.

No, agar agar does not contain collagen. Agar agar is a gelatinous substance derived from seaweed, while collagen is a protein found in the connective tissues of animals.
Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is commonly used for isolating Staphylococcus aureus because it contains high salt concentration which inhibits the growth of many other bacteria while allowing the growth of Staphylococcus species. Additionally, the fermentation of mannitol by S. aureus produces yellow colonies on MSA, aiding in its identification.
