In liquid medium, M. tuberculosis appears as granular or flaky growth, while most NTM form uniform slight turbidity (except M. kansasii).

 M. tuberculosis forms typical clumps and serpentine cords, while other mycobacteria appear as loose, smaller clumps and cording or single cells. M. kansasii may be difficult to differentiate as it is morphologically closer to M. tuberculosis.
