Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus epidermidis Micrococcus luteus The following shows the growth of several bacteria on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA). MSA contains salt, the sugar mannitol, and phenol red. Select all that apply. Phenol red turns red in acidic conditions MSA is selective Growth on MSA shows that Staphylococcus is salt tolerant, so you might find it growing on the skin. Staphylococcus epidermidis can ferment mannitol Staphylococcus aureus can ferment mannitol

What do experimental results indicate if a bacterial colony grows on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) and appears surrounded bright yellow media? The bacteria are Gram negative and cannot ferment mannitol The bacteria are Gram positive and cannot ferment mannitol The bacteria are Gram negative and can ferment mannitol The bacteria are Gram positive and can ferment mannitol
