Indole, Methyl Red, Voges–Proskauer and Citrate test (IMViC) tests are performed to confirm the fecal infection of coliform bacteria which are found in soil water and in the feces of warm and cold blooded animals. These bacteria are "Escherichia-Aerobacter intermediates".
If a scientist performed the Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Proskauer, and Citrate tests on a bacterial species...

Methyl Red and Voges-Proskauer Tests OBSERVATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS 5-3 1 Refer to Tables 5-3 and 5-4, page 290, as you record your results (color) and interpretations in the table below Organism Uninoculated control MR Result VP Result Interpretation QUESTIONS Some protocols call for a shorter incubation time for the MR and VP tests. Other protocols alloue for up to 10 days incubation with virtually no risk of producing a false positive. a. Which of the two tests would likely produce...
Practice Questions 1. You were given a bacteria for unknown investigation. To begin with, you performed a Methyl Red test after inoculating and incubating them for 48 hours. You obtained no color change after addition of Methyl Red. You proceed forward and performed Voges Proskauer test. For this particular test, you obtained a red color change after addition of Barritt solution A and B. From the result, what kind of inference can you draw from the 2 results obtained about...
Citrate Utilization Test OBSERVATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS 1 Using Table 5-10, page 340, as a guide, enter your results in the table below. Organism Color Result (+ or -) Interpretation Control QUESTIONS 1 Consider the uninoculated tube. a. Is it a positive or a negative control? b. What information is provided by the uninoculated control? Rus. ay Manry bacteria that are able to metabolize citrate (as seen in the citric acid cycle) produce negative e this test. Why? Be specific. ative...
