From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"On EMB if E.coli is grown it will give off a distinctive metallic green sheen (due to acid production). It is the only bacterium that reacts this way to EMB so it can be quickly used to identify E. coli"

The second sentence here is inaccurate. Similar bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and others can in many cases produce the same exact green sheen.

C. freundii also has the same colony morphology. Rikku (talk) 19:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
