The E. coli. grown in this media must have produced acid while they were feeding on the lactose must have acidified the eosin dye embedded within the EMB media to form black in color with glossy glare from incoming light.
Since the EMB has in it lactose, and eosin, a dye which is sensitive to acid, the e. coli. consuming this.
