Solution
Salmonella in Kligler's Iron Agar would appear as Red slant, yellow butt, blackening. This is because Salmonella species are capable of fermenting glucose (which turns the butt of the tube yellow) but not lactose (which leaves the slant red). The blackening is due to the production of hydrogen sulfide.
