a student is trying to determine the identity of his/her unknown bacterium and decides that the citrate utilization test is appropriate. A Simmon's citrate agar slant is inoculated and incubated for 3 days. The slant remains green. However, the student does not see any bacterial growth on the slant, and thinks the bacteria may have been 'fried' during transfer. No matter how many times the student repeats the test, bacterial growth is never observed on a citrate agar slant. Why
