If I have a gram negatie bacterium, what are reasons that it would not grow on MacConkey agar???
Gram negative bacteria grow selectively on MacConkey agar. It inhibits the growth of gram positive bacteria.
The reason some gram negative bacteria might not grow on MacConkey’s agar might be due to the culture conditions like temperature, pH, expiry of the medium, contamination of the medium etc.

help please What type(s) of bacteria are favored to grow on eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar? Select one: O a Gram positive bacteria that can undergo anaerobic respiration. O b. Gram negative bacteria that can ferment glucose and/ or lactose, O c. Only those bacilli that can utilize citrate as a main carbohydrate source. O d. All Bacteria would grow equally well A bacterial species grows on a MacConkey agar plate, and the colonies have dark red color with hazy...
How would you verify that the colonies that grew on a MacConkey agar plate were Gram negative? What types of bacteria are inhibited on MacConkey agar?
What is one structural difference between Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacterium) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacterium) that would make them have different susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents?
MacConkey agar questions 4. Would this bacteria be a Gram positive or a Gram negative? How do you know? 5. Does this bacteria ferment lactose? How do you know?
1). What are some potentially pathogenic bacteria that are lactose fermenters that will grow on MacConkey agar?” 2). What are some potentially pathogenic bacteria that do not ferment lactose that will grow on MacConkey agar?”
Scenario 1: A bacterium isolated from a wound sample gave the following results: MacConkey agar = no growth Mannitol salt agar - good growth, color of medium unchanged Based on these results, which of the following statements is/are true? (Choose ALL true statements.) A. The organism is most likely Gram positive. B. The organism is most likely Gram negative. C. The organism is most likely a bacillus. D. The organism is most likely a coccus. Which of the following most...
What would happen if a gram-positive bacterium was placed in very salty water? Why?
A Gram stain of unknown bacterium A grown for 24 hours show purple cells. Is bacterium A Gram positive or Gram negative? A gram stain of bacterium A grown for 72 hours shows both purple and pink stained cells. Additional analysis shows that bacterium A is NOT contaminated. Explain these results. You are given 2 nutrient broth tubes each containing a pure culture of one of two Gram positive bacteria. Unfortunately, the labels have washed off and you are asked...
I need help answering these questions Part 3: MacConkey agar and EMB agar Watch the following video (LINK) in this folder. You will be answering questions on this video, so please go over the questions first. Go over exercises 4-4 and 4-5. Answer the following questions 1. Define Enterobacteriaceae and coliforms (may have to do some research online). 2. What Enterobacteriacae is EMB and MacConkey agar selective for? 3. What carbohydrate is contained in both EMB and MacConkey agar? 4....
a) Will all gram positive organisms grow on a rose agar plate? ecplain why or why not. b) Will all gram negative organisms grow on a MAC agar plate? explain why or why not. c) Can colony morphology be done from a MAC or Rose agar plate? why or why not.
