Best Answer

I had a bacterial unknown of M. luteus in my microbiology lab. M. luteus is a Gram positive cocci (as seen by a gram stain). A good definitive test for Gram + cocci is the catalase test. M. luteus is catalase positive. Then a nitrate test can be performed to determine that M. luteus is nitrate negative.

Those alone should be enough to confirm M. luteus.

Streptococci are not differentiated by biochemical tests, but rather by hemolysis reaction (beta Strep or alpha Strep) and sero-group (as in Group E Strep).Further, streptococcus is also identified by thr following tests:1. Coagulase.2. Haemolysin (It lyses 4% RBC suspension)3. Fibrinolysin (It can dissolve a fibrin clot)4. Strp. Pneumoniae also gives a positive bile solubility test.5. It ferments Inulin (A sugar)
