Write a paragraph for when you once have Neisseria gonorrhoea bacteria in its pure form, what methods can you use to confirm the identity of this bacterium as N. gonorrhoeae? Mention what is the principle of those methods.
MacConkey agar is often used to differentiate E. coli from other Gram-negative rods. The recipe for MacConkey agar is given in the table. Suppose you plated a mixed culture of  Escherichia coli,  Bacillus subtilis, and  Streptococcus pyogenes onto a MacConkey agar plate.  Which species would grow, and how would they appear? Why would the others NOT grow?
