Ornithine Decarboxylation: - negative (yellow butt) ii. Indole: - negative (absence of red ring) I. Urease Test: negative (salmon pink) Salmonella typhi on Salmonella-Shigella Agar Plate (SSA). Salmonella typhi is a Non-lactose fermenting organism (NLFO) showing colorless colonies. May produce black colonies due to hydrogen sulfide H2S formation. Salmonella typhi on MAC. Salmonella typhi is NLFO showing colorless colonies but sometimes may produce black colonies due to HwS formation.

Pigment production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Two strains of P. aeruginosa growing on MacConkey agar. The red pigment is due to the production of pyorubrin, a non-fluorescent, water-soluble pigment, and the yellow-green color is due to pyocyanin, a fluorescent, water-soluble pigment.

A. Pseudomonas aeruginosa on 5% sheep blood agar. The colonies of P.aeruginosa on blood agar are typically yellow-green and beta-hemolytic. Fluorescein pigments are produced by some species, but pyocyanin (bluegreen) pigments is produced by P.aeruginosa alone. Most colonies have a distinct grapelike odor due to aminoacetophenone. P.aeruginosa may be distinguished from other species by its ability to grow at 42 oC. B. Pseudomonas aeruginosa on 5% sheep blood agar. Oblique lighting demonstrates metallic sheen on the surface of colonies.

Positive oxidase test due to Vibrio sp. Oxidase test: Indophenol blue is produced when cytochrome oxidase in a sample colony reacts with tetramethyl phenylenediamine dihydrochloride. It is used to distinguish Enterobacteriaceae (negative) from Vibrio sp. (positive). Vibrio Parahaemolyticus. On thiosulfate citrate bile salt sucrose agar (RCBS), does not ferment sucrose, thus colonies are green.
