Other ingredients such as enzymatic digest of gelatin, casein, and animal tissue provide nitrogen, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids essential for growth. Lactose present in the medium is fermented by bacteria to form lactic acid that decreases the pH of the agar, and turns the indicator (neutral red) pink, thus differentiating lactose fermenters from non-lactose fermenters. Since Gram-negative enteric bacteria possess a bile-resistant outer membrane, they remain unaffected by bile salts.

Key components of the MacConkey medium include crystal violet dye, bile salts, lactose, and neutral red (pH indicator).Ĭrystal violet dye and bile salts prevent the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and fastidious Gram-negative bacteria (such as Neisseria and Pasteurella) making it favorable for the growth of gram-negative bacteria.

When you're bored, simply add more widgets from the widgets tab or change the entire theme all together. The nightdrive one demonstrated below displays a digital clock, weather, various system resources, and even pulls the artwork and title from the current song playing in the Spotify client.

To toggle between hidden files press Ctrl + H or, go to View > Show Hidden Files. Remember files or folders that are preceded by a period (.) are hidden files. Conky Manager just needs to be reloaded and it will pickup anything new within that directory. If you would like to get started you can grab the Aurora collection of themes and extract into the aforementioned folder. We can inject themes by downloading an archive and extracting it to the ~/.conky/ folder.
