Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) Bacterial Growth Medium: Microbiology Lab Tutorial — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01in this video I'll teach you the basics
- 0:04of manitol salt specialized bacterial
- 0:07growth
- 0:28medium
- 1:39here are some more examples of
- 1:40halophilic salt loving bacteria growing
- 1:43on manitol salt
- 1:47auger here are two nasal samples plated
- 1:51on manatal salt
- 1:53augur let's first examine the plate on
- 1:56the
- 1:57left there is growth so so we know these
- 2:00are halophilic
- 2:02bacteria we can also see that the growth
- 2:05on this plate has triggered the pH
- 2:07sensitive Dy to change color meaning
- 2:10that the bacteria on this plate are
- 2:12manitol
- 2:14fermenters so that is what I've learned
- 2:16about the bacteria growing on that left
- 2:18plate from The Selective and
- 2:21differential properties of manitol salt
- 2:25AER I can also sometimes get additional
- 2:28information about the bacteria growing
- 2:30on my plate by looking at their colony
- 2:35morphology Colony morphology refers to
- 2:38what each different type of bacteria
- 2:41looks like when growing in a visible
- 2:43Colony on the surface of the
- 2:52augur when I look at the colony
- 2:55morphology of the bacteria growing on
- 2:57the left plate I see two main types of
- 3:03bacteria towards the top of the plate
- 3:05above the word nose are some larger
- 3:08creamy yellow colonies most likely
- 3:13micrococcus and starting on the right
- 3:15Edge then extending towards the center
- 3:17of the plate are these tiny punctiform
- 3:20colonies these are the bacteria that
- 3:23change the color of the plate these are
- 3:25the bacteria that ferment manitol and
- 3:28they are staak
- 3:32orus the plate on the right also shows
- 3:36growth which means there are halophiles
- 3:38or salt loving bacteria growing on that
- 3:42plate but the bacteria growing on this
- 3:45plate are not manitol fermentors we know
- 3:48that because the growth did not trigger
- 3:51that change in the color of the medium
- 3:53from pink to Yellow this medium remained
- 3:56pink indicating non manitol fermenters
- 4:00most typically normal flora like sta
- 4:03lakus
- 4:06epidermus here is staf cacus epidermus
- 4:10normal flora that will grow on manitol
- 4:13salt augur but not change the color of
- 4:16the
- 4:17medium here's staff appy from two nasal
- 4:20samples growing in their characteristic
- 4:22punctiform small white creamy colonies
- 4:25and here's staff appy on manitol salt
- 4:29auger
- 4:30these bacteria were streak
- 4:36plated on this plate we also see the
- 4:38growth of halophiles but in this case
- 4:42the bacteria triggered the pH sensitive
- 4:44die to change color that means that we
- 4:47have manitol fermenters stacus orius a
- 4:52pathogen here's a nasal sample plate
- 4:55prepared by a pair of Lab
- 4:57Partners the sample on the left
- 4:59indicates pathogen stacus orus a
- 5:04halophile that will grow on manitol salt
- 5:07augur and ferment manitol triggering
- 5:10that pH sensitive die to change
- 5:13color the sample on the right indicates
- 5:16stacus epidermus which is normal flora
- 5:20that is halophilic it will grow on
- 5:22manitol salt augur but does not ferment
- 5:24manital so there is no change in the
- 5:26color of the
- 5:28augur
- 5:31more seriously nerdy amazing free stuff
- 5:34at science profo online.com go
- 5:38there
