8.4: Fermentation of Carbohydrates w. Procedures and Results
If the bacterium ferments that particular carbohydrate producing both acid and gas, the pH indicator phenol red to change form its original red color at a neutral pH to a yellow or clear color and the gas will collect in the Durham tube as a substantial gas bubble appearing at the top of the Durham tube (see Fig. \(\PageIndex{2B}\)).
Interpretation of Results: A positive fermentation result is indicated by a color change from red to yellow. Tubes should be held for 48 hours before declaring a negative test result (i.e., no
Carbohydrate Fermentation Test (Sugar Fermentation Test)
2023年4月13日 · Carbohydrate Fermentation Test is the biochemical test used to assess the ability of bacteria to ferment a specific carbohydrate and to differentiate bacteria based on their carbohydrate fermentation pattern and identify them.
Phenol Red Fermentation Test - Procedure, Uses and Interpretation
2022年8月10日 · Phenol Red Broth is a general-purpose differential test medium typically used to differentiate gram negative enteric bacteria. It contains peptone, phenol red (a pH indicator), a Durham tube, and one carbohydrate (glucose, lactose, or sucrose). Phenol red is a pH indicator which turns yellow below a pH of 6.8 and fuchsia above a pH of 7.4.
Carbohydrate fermentation tests detect the ability of microorganisms to ferment a specific carbohydrate. Fermentation patterns can be used to differentiate among bacterial groups or species (2, 6, 8, 9). For example, all members of the Enterobacteriaceae family are classified as glucose fermenters because they
Carbohydrate Fermentation Test: Uses, Principle, Procedure, …
The carbohydrate fermentation test is used to determine whether or not bacteria can ferment a specific carbohydrate. Carbohydrate fermentation patterns are useful in differentiating among bacterial groups or species.
1.22: Fermentation - Biology LibreTexts
The medium used to test carbohydrate fermentation is a nutrient broth that contains a fermentable carbohydrate (usually a monosaccharide or a disaccharide), peptone (amino acids) as well as a pH indicator. The pH of the medium is adjusted to approximately 7.5, so it appears orange/red with a phenol red pH indicator.
3.1: Carbohydrate Fermentation - Biology LibreTexts
2021年3月19日 · During fermentation most bacteria convert carbohydrates into organic acids, with or without the production of gas. One can test for this by adding a pH indicator and an inverted tube (a Durham tube) to the culture medium. We will use phenol red as the pH indicator. If acid is produced the phenol red will turn yellow (pH below 6.8).
Carbohydrate Fermentation Test – Sugar Fermentation Test
2024年4月26日 · Here’s an overview of the typical media formulations used in these tests, specifically focusing on variations using phenol red as the pH indicator: Phenol Red Glucose Broth: Used to test for the fermentation of glucose. Phenol Red Lactose Broth: Utilized for assessing lactose fermentation.
