Why did my B. subtitlis have a growth colonies on the MAC and EMB plate? There was an apparent growth, but no colour change on the MAC plate. The EMB plate had growth and a colour change of a deep, red colour. What does this say about about B. subtilis as a gram-positive and lactose fermentor ?

Concept explainers

Nutrient Growth Medium

It is a culture medium or nutrient broth for all kinds of microorganisms to grow properly and create their colony. This matrix provides support to increase the population of microbes through the method of cell proliferation. It is regarded as the food material for those organisms. It is a type of in vitro mechanism, in which the development of life is processed outside the host body. It can be solid, semi-solid, or liquid in nature. Different kinds of cells develop in different types of media.

Bacillis brevis are lysed using a valve-type homogenizer. The extent of disruption depends on the applied pressure and the number of passes through the homogenizer chamber and can be described by the equation, ln(1 − ?) = −????.
