Micrococcus luteus is a Gram-positive to Gram-variable, nonmotile, tetrad-arranging, pigmented, saprotrophic coccus bacterium in the family Micrococcaceae. [1] It is urease and catalase positive. An obligate aerobe , M. luteus is found in soil, dust, water and air, and as part of the normal microbiota of the mammalian skin.
Micrococcus is a genus of bacteria in the Micrococcaceae family. Micrococcus occurs in a wide range of environments, including water, dust, and soil. Micrococci have Gram-positive spherical cells ranging from about 0.5 to 3 micrometers in diameter and typically appear in tetrads.

Colonies of Micrococcus luteus on Tryptic Soy Agar. Cultivation 48 hours, 37°C. Trypticase soy agar or Tryptic soy agar (TSA) is a growth media for the culturing of moderately to non fastidious bacteria. It is a general-purpose, non-selective media providing enough nutrients to allow for a wide variety of microorganisms to grow.
Bacteria characterized by a huge diversity of morphology, starting with color, texture ending with shape of colony and their odor. In this photo we can see a plate with bacterial smears. From the left: Serratia marcescens, at the top: Micrococcus luteus and on the right: Staphylococcus epidermidis.
