Kovacs reagent
(HCl+ p-
dimethylaminobenzald
ehyde+n-amyl
alcohol)
tryptophanase
Methyl red (MR) test
Glucose fermentation(
PH=4.2) acid
formation
Methyl red dye
remain red when
adding in the tube
MR negative bacteria
yellow to orange
Voges-Proskauer(VP)
Determine whether the
product of glucose is
acetylmethylcarbinol(acet
oin) neutral metabolite
Acetoin reacts with
Barrits reagent(KOH &
creatinine) to form a pink
to rosy red tinge in the
medium
In negative result the tube
remains brown to yellow
Citrate media
Contain citrate as the only
usable carbon source
Ammonium dihydrogen
phosphate
Bromthymolblue(indicator
)
By using citrate alkaline
by-products
The color of medium
from green( neutral) to
blue(alkaline)
Lysine and ornithine
decarboxylase(LDC, ODC)
Enzymes that remove
carboxyl from aminoacids
The end products are
alkaline amines
The raise of PH convert
bromcresol purple to
purple color
Negative results are
yellow
