Term
MR-VP (Methyl-red/ voges proskauer
Definition

To determine which fermentation pathway 

1. mixed acid fermentation

2. Butanediol fermentation

 

pH indicator (MR) and glucose/ dexatrose (VP)

Term
Mixed acid fermentation
Definition
  • Bacteria that ferments glucose/ dexatrose cause a drop in pH due to acid production
  • lactic acid/ acetic acid 
Term
Butanediol fermentation
Definition
  • barrits reagent A & B 
  • detects the presence of acetonin precursor of butanediol
