The EMB (Eosin Methylene Blue) agar is a selective and differential agar medium. It contains sucrose and lactose as fermentable substrates together with Eosin Y and methylene blue dyes which in combination gives the agar its characteristic color when prepared and serves as a pH indicator as well as an inhibitor of growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Hence, it is primarily used to isolate Gram-negative fecal coliforms while some positive fecal coliforms such as Staphylococci are also able to grow.
These coliforms are of two types:
- Lactose or sucrose fermenting coliforms form metallic sheens on the agar as a result of acid production and the response of the indicator to the increased acidity.
- Non-lactose/sucrose fermenters are only able to produce acid by protein deamination. Hence they either form colorless or pinkish colonies on the agar
On the other hand, Mannitol salt agar is a selective and differential agar medium that is primarily used to isolate Staphylococcal bacteria. The presence of sodium chloride in the medium makes it a partial or complete inhibitor of other bacteria.
Hence, an unknown bacterium that forms colorless colonies on EMB will either be a non-lactose fermenting, Gram-negative coliform that will hardly grow on Mannitol salt agar, or a Gram-positive fecal Staphylococcus.
Staphylococci bacteria are of two types:
- Coagulase-positive will form yellow colonies on the Mannitol salt agar.
- Coagulase-negative will form red colonies on the Mannitol salt agar.

The correct option are as follows:
estimating temperature to the nearest tenth of a degree
estimating the mass of the sample to the nearest tenth of a gram
the position of the cups of sand and water under the heat lamp
<u>Explanation:</u>
Error is an uncertainty or the amount of deviation in a physical quantity. There may arise some deviance while measuring physical quantity due to approximation.
Instrumental, environmental, procedural, and human are some of the common sources of error. The error can be classified into two types:
i) Random error
ii) Systematic error
Types of error are determined based on the deviation in the result. While observing the temperature of something, the temperature should be noted to the nearest tenth of a degree. In similar way, the mass of the sample should be estimated to the nearest tenth of a gram.
