Mannitol is used to treat cerebral edema (swelling of brain cells - this does not make you smart, this makes you have coma). Mannitol has the ability to increase plasma osmolality but cannot pass through cell membrane. When plasma ormolality is higher than the cell osmolality due to Mannitol in plasma, the cell tries to balance it by letting water pass through cell membrane into plasma. This reduces edema.

Does Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferment mannitol?
Mannitol salt agar inoculated with Micrococcus luteusshowing no fermentation of mannitol (pink medium). The colonies show a yellow pigment which is characteristic of M. luteus.
What reaction does the enzyme involved in Mannitol-salt agar test mediate?
Mannitol salt agar is selective for gram positive bacteria, and differential for mannitol fermenters. Phenol red is the indicator containing the enzyme mannitol.
Can enterobacter cloacae grow on mannitol salt agar?
Yes, Enterobacter cloacae typically cannot grow on mannitol salt agar because it does not ferment mannitol. Mannitol salt agar is selective for salt-tolerant Staphylococci species that can ferment mannitol, producing acid and turning the agar yellow.
Does bacillus subtilis ferment acid from mannitol salt agar?
Bacillus subtilis typically does not ferment acid from mannitol salt agar as it lacks the enzymes needed for fermentation. Mannitol salt agar is mostly used to differentiate Staphylococcus species, which are capable of fermenting mannitol.
What is the effect of mannitol during dialysis?

A yellow color indicates a positive mannitol test. This means that the organism can ferment mannitol, producing acid which causes the phenol red indicator to turn yellow.
What organisms do not grow on msa and mannitol?
Organisms that do not grow on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) are non-halophilic bacteria that are unable to tolerate high salt concentrations. Mannitol-fermenting bacteria are organisms that can ferment mannitol and grow on MSA, while non-fermenting bacteria will not grow.
Where can you get mannitol?
