3. Mannitol Salt Agar What are the expected results (growth and color) on Mannitol Salt Agar. Will the bacterium grow on this media? If it can grow, what is the color of colonies Explain why the bacterium will give these results. 4. Eosin Methylene Blue Agar What are the expected results (growth and color) on Eosin Methylene Blue. Will the bacterium grow? If it can grow, what is the color of colonies? Explain why the bacterium will give these results.
