Its a pretty pink color :)

Today in lab we needed to check our plates we streaked before the field trip. The Mannitol Salt agar plate showed colonies that were yellow in color. This means that our bacteria creates acid as an end product. The fact that our bacteria grew means that is uses salt or is a halophile.

Then we checked our MacConkey plate. This plate only allows gram negative bacteria to grow. If the bacteria would have been red then it would be a coliform bacteria. Ours was not colored so it is a non-coliform.

The last plate we checked was the EMB or Eosin Metylene Blue agar plate. This plate allows only gram negative bacteria to grow. And if the bacteria was a pink colored that means it is lactose-fermented. This means it could be Enterobacter aerogenes.

We didn't do any other experiments because we have our Fall Break coming up this weekend and we won't be in lab to check results.
