The bacteria would not be able to grow. The bacteria breakdown of the cysteine amino acid would be inhibited and no black precipitate would be produced. There would not be a pH indicator to detect the change in acidity. The agar will not exhibit any color change. The hydrogen sulfide produced would not be detected as a black precipitate (FeS), resulting in a false negative result.
