This exercise will help you identify the cultural characteristics of a bacterium on an agar plate - called colony morphology. Although one might not necessarily see the importance of colonial morphology at first, it really can be important when identifying the bacterium.
Sep 1, 2007 · Streak plate isolation of a mixed broth culture showing colonial morphology of Escherichia coli (white colonies) and Micrococcus luteus (yellow colonies). The culture was grown on trypticase soy agar (TSA) and incubated for 72 hours at 37oC.
Nov 11, 2022 · 5.1 Nutrient agar. E. coli, on NAM, forms large, thick, greyish white, moist, smooth, opaque, or translucent discs like colonies as shown in Figure 3. The smooth forms (S) of colonies seen in fresh isolation are easily emulsifiable in saline. The rough forms (R) of colonies seen in older cultures, with dull surfaces often auto-agglutinable in ...
