Mannitol motility nitrate medium is recommended for studying mannitol fermentation, nitrate reduction and motility of bacteria. It is designed to differentiate bacteria on the basis of their motility, ability to ferment mannitol and reduce nitrate. Motile bacteria produce diffused growth throughout the medium while non motile bacteria grow only along the line of inoculation.
