Phenol Red Broth with Carbohydrate

Description

Phenol Red Broth Base and Phenol Red Broth with carbohydrates are used for the determination of fermentation reactions in the differentiation of microorganisms.

The ability of an organism to ferment a specific carbohydrate incorporated in a basal medium, resulting in the production of acid or acid and gas, has been used to characterize a specific species or group of bacteria, aid in the differentiation between genera and aid in species differentiation.

Phenol Red Broth Base and Phenol Red Broth with Carbohydrates are referenced in the Bacteriological Analytical Manual for the differentiation of Bacillus and Salmonella.
