You do an environmental swab and inoculate a nutrient agar plate, an EMB agar pate, and a blood agar plat. After incubating at 37 oC for three days, you observed 80 white colonies on the nutrient agar plate, 80 pink colonies on the EMB plate, and 80 white colonies and 20 pink colonies on the blood agar with a green halo. Why does the blood agar plate have more colonies than the other two plates? Are any of the colonies on this plate hemolytic? If so categorize them. Can anything about the Gram state of the Hemolytic bacteria be determined from this experiment? Explain. Identify if the bacteria on the nutrient agar plate are gram positive, gram negative, or both? Explain your reasoning. Do the bacteria on the nutrient agar plate ferment lactose? Explain your reasoning.
