The colonies of bacteria growing on a solid agar plate differ in size shape, color, and texture. The colony morphology technique is used to describe characteristic features of a colony-forming bacteria on the agar plate.
MacConkey agar
It is widely used to differentiate bacterial colonies based upon their ability to ferment lactose. The lactose fermenting bacteria appear to be pink in color with a precipitation ring of bile salts, while a lactose non-fermenting bacteria appear to be colorless.
it is used to distinguish between gram-negative bacteria based upon their ability to ferment lactose.
Rose agar plate
It is an advance and improved form of blood agar which is widely used as selective growth media to isolate colonies of gram-positive bacteria
Can colony morphology be done from a MacConkey or Rose agar plate? Why or why not?
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.

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?
1. Apple tells his friends that he has recorded the colony morphology of his unknown by looking at the negative stain and Gram stain results, and the cell morphology from his streak for isolation on a Nutrient Agar plate. If you were Apple’s friends, how would you respond to Apple? 2. Helicobacter pylori, an organism that can live in the human stomach and cause ulcers, is urease positive. Why would that be an advantage to the organism?
On EMB agar containing E. coli, what should the colony morphology be? Select one or more: a. Shiny metallic green surface on colonies b. Fish eye colonies c. Dark, black colonies d. Beige, round colonies
9. What is the role of bile salts and crystal violet in MacConkey agar? 10. Why do non-fermenters form white/colorless colonies on MacConkey agar? 11. How does NaCl in Mannitol Salt agar kill organisms? 12. How is Staphylococcus aureus differentiated from other Staphylococci species on Mannitol Salt agar?

This will show you colony morphology or basic information of what your organism would look like on a TSA non-selective medium plate. Some have short explanations. See if there are any clues from the morphology and then decide what your next step will be. This is my sample of TSA non-selective plate. I am not really sure on what the question is really asking. Im not sure what information i can get from this TSA plate. 13m
