Lab notes: 10-8-09
Here are the notes I took on the selective and differential media that we learned about today.
Simmons Citrate agar
Green turns blue if bacteria can use citrate as a sole energy source
< Salmonella will turn blue
< E. Coli will stay green
Kilger Iron Agar
Red, turns yellow at low pH (as a result of sugar fermentation)
Iron and sulfer = sulfide if bacteria produce H2 as a byproduct, agar turns black.
< E. Coli will turn yellow
< Salmonella will turn black
