When a microbiologist needs to identify a specific bacterium, biochemical tests are used.…

    Usually the media is based on a known environmental condition range that they tolerate and most groups can not. An example is Manitol Salts Agar (MSA). This media contains salts that most organisms can’t tolerate due to their osmolity ranges. Microbes that normally exist under these conditions are able to grow. MSA is usually used for Staphylococcal species. Differential media provides chemical compounds that bacteria metabolize differently. The difference is observed by a colony or media color change. This media is often used to differentiate between groups of organisms with the same morphology and biochemical resemblances. Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) is an example that can be used to differentiate between various Gram (-) rods of the intestinal tract. Escherichia coli and other enteric bacteria are able to ferment. Lactose fermentation results in a colony color change ranging from pink to purple.…
