BRAIN HEART INFUSION (BHI) AGAR The brain heart infusion, peptone and dextrose components of the medium provide the nutrients to BHI Agar. Organic nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, vitamins and trace substances are provided by the peptones and infusion. Dextrose provides the carbohydrate source for fermentative microorganisms.

- Growth Characteristics of EMB • EMB agar is both a selective and differential agar. • EMB agar is inhibitory to gram‐positive bacteria, and is indicative of lactose fermentation. • It is selective because it contains bile salts and eosin and methyleneblue dyes, which inhibit gram positive bacteria from growing.xidase Test • A swab of a bacteria from a TSA plate is taken by a sterile swab, alternatively a sample is also transferred from the plate to a piece of filter paper. Several drops of oxidase reagent are added to the cells on the paper.

- 1 Principles of the Procedure Mannitol Salt Agar is a nutritive medium due to its content of peptones and beef extract, which supply essential growth factors, such as nitrogen, carbon, sulfur and trace nutrients.oagulase-positive staphylococci produce growth of yellow colonies with yellow zones. Coagu-lase negative staphylococci produce small red colonies with no color change to the medium. Micrococcus produce large, white to orange colonies, with no color change to the medium. Most other bacteria will be inhibited.

Oxygen Requirements of Bacteria MA = microaerephilic: Azospirillum, Aquaspirillum, Cytophaga require oxygen but grow best just below the surface of the agar where oxygen is reduced. This type of bacteria is relatively uncommon in laboratories because some won't grow on GST and other common media.

- Proteus vulgaris Growing on EMB Agar. Only gram-negative bacteria grow on EMB agar. Gram-positive bacteria are inhibited by the dyes eosin and methylene blue added to the agar. Because Proteus vulgaris does not ferment lactose or produce acid, their colonies appear grey on EMB agar.Photograph from MicrobeLibrary.org Courtesy of Naowarat Cheeptham and Carolynne Fardy, Thompson Rivers University.ram-positive bacteria are inhibited by the dyes eosin and methylene blue added to the agar.

LEFORS, TEXAS Henry expected Lefors to grow and carved 14 boxes into the walls, although only four were used. Thut also brought in the lumber for the first Gray County Courthouse. After the county seat became Pampa, the Thut family moved into the old courthouse. Lefors had a severe blizzard in 1938 and 90% of the town was destroyed in 1975. Each disaster claimed one life. In 1932 Lefors became a stop on a railroad built between Childress and Pampa.

MacConkey agar The crystal violet and bile salts inhibit the growth of gram-positive organisms which allows for the selection and isolation of gram-negative bacteria. Enteric bacteria that have the ability to ferment lactose can be detected using the carbohydrate lactose, and the pH indicator neutral red.

- Nutrient agar consists of heat-stable digestive products of proteins (called peptones) and beef extract. Both of these provide amino acids, minerals, and other nutrients used by a wide variety of bacteria for growth. In addition, it contains agar as a solidifying agent.

Nutrient Agar: composition, preparation and uses 4.6 / 5  ( 35 ) Nutrient Agar: composition, preparation and uses 4.58/5 (19) Nutrient agar is used as a general purpose medium for the growth of a wide variety of non-fastidious microorganisms. It consists of peptone, beef extract and agar. This relatively simple formulation provides the nutrients necessary for the replication of a large number of non-fastidious microorganisms.

The role of beta-lactamase-producing-bacteria in mixed infections Beta-lactamase-producing bacteria (BLPB) can play an important role in polymicrobial infections. They can have a direct pathogenic impact in causing the infection as well as an indirect effect through their ability to produce the enzyme beta-lactamase.

Micro Lab. Experiment 16. Contains dyes eosin and methylene blue which inhibit growth of Gram-positive bacteria and selects for Gram-negative organisms. Also causes a pH drop around colony resulting in uptake of dyes by colonies of lactose fermenters (coliforms). (Non-coliforms or non-lactose fermenters produce pale or colorless colonies on EMB agar.)

- 1 MacConkey agar contains bile salts and crystal violate to inhibit gram-positive bacteria and lactose to indicate lactose fermenters (appear as pink colonies) vs. non-lactose fermenters (colorless colonies). 2  Some gram-negative bacteria can’t grow on lactose, which gives it additional selective properties.

- Answer by Bobana89. Confidence votes 23. Potassium tellurite agar is selective for the growth of Staphylococci and is somewhat selective for the growth of Corynebacteria. Staphylococci and Corynebacteria reduce the potassium tellurite in the agar, which makes the colonies grow black.
