Figure 34: Growth results of three gram-negative bacilli grown on MacConkey agar. FIG. 34. Growth results of three gram-negative bacilli grown on MacConkey agar. MacConkey agar was inoculated with Escherichia coli, Salmonella arizonae, and Enterobacter aerogenes and viewed with transmitted light. E. coli ferments lactose to strong acids, indicated by red precipitate and colony coloration. S. arizonae does not ferment lactose. E. aerogenes ferments lactose to weak acids, resulting in pink growth with little to no precipitate.  (Tasha Sturm, Cabrillo College, Aptos, CA)

Figure 35: Organisms grown on MacConkey Agar. FIG. 35. Bacteria grown on MacConkey Agar (Mac) at 37°C for 24 hours. (A): Escherichia coli: strong lactose fermentation resulting in bright pink halo (bile precipitate) and pink growth. (B): Salmonella arizonae: no lactose fermentation, as indicated by the white transparent colonies that turn agar yellow. (C): Enterobacter aerogenes: moderate lactose fermentation, indicated by pink colonies. (D): Proteus vulgaris: no lactose fermentation as indicated by the white  transparent colonies that turn agar yellow. (Tasha Sturm, Cabrillo College, Aptos, CA)
