B. cereus is differentiated from other members of the Bacillus group by two reactions: mannitol fermentation and lecithinase production. Mannitol fermentation on this medium produces a yellow color. B. cereus is mannitol negative and produces red colonies. The lecithinase production of B. cereus is indicated by a white precipitate around the colonies.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/bacillus-cereus-myp-agar
