Upon lactose fermentation, the localised production of organic acids (primarily lactic and acetic acid) lowers the pH of the surrounding agar below the neutral red transition point, incorporating the red dye into the colony matrix and producing the characteristic deep red-purple colouration. Simultaneously, the acid environment causes bile salts dissolved in the agar to precipitate as an insoluble white-to-opaque ring around each positive colony — a physical halo that dramatically enhances visual discrimination between true coliforms and background flora. The agar overlay step is critical: it maintains the anaerobic-like microenvironment within the pour layer that maximises gas entrapment, suppresses surface spreaders, and ensures halo formation remains localised and countable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003c!-- Coliform Detection Media Comparison Table --\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 35px;\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 style=\"color: #3b0764;
