Will pseudomona aeruginosa grow on Emb?

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow on Emb agar, as it is a selective and differential growth medium commonly used to isolate and differentiate members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, including P. aeruginosa. Its growth on Emb agar will exhibit the characteristic green metallic sheen due to its ability to produce pyocyanin pigment.

What test will differentiate between Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa?

This is a bit tricky. Both Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are Gram-negative and rod-shaped. According to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Proteus vulgaris tests positive for sulfur reduction, urease production, tryptophan deaminase production, and indole production. Pseudomonas aeruginosa reduces sulfur and nitrate, and has a characteristic green color. The API 20E Identification System is a test strip that can be used to identify Proteus vulgaris versus other bacteria.An even easier way to test this is the gelatinase test.Or, slant the bacteria on a Triple Sugar Iron slant or place them in a SIM agar deep. P. vulgaris tests positive for Hydrogen Sulfide production, changing the media to a black color around the organism, while P. aeruginosa does not produce Hydrogen Sulfide.
