Eosin-methylene blue agar, or EMB, is a commonly used bacteriological
medium gram-negative
growing for bacteria from complex environments. It contains two
dyes,methylene
and eosin blue, as well as the sugar lactose. Eosin is a pH indicator
that changes
color when the medium is acidic, while methylene blue inhibits the growth of
most gram-
positive bacteria. If an organism consumes lactose, acid will be produced,
causing the
bacterial colonies to change
color.
