Additional Information for Methyl Red-Voges-Proskauer Culture Medium
Methyl Red-Voges-Proskauer (MR-VP) Culture Medium is a type of culture medium used in microbiology laboratories for the detection and differentiation of bacteria. It is specifically used for the MR-VP test, which is a biochemical test used to determine the metabolic characteristics of bacteria.
The MR-VP test is used to differentiate between bacteria that produce mixed acid fermentation (MR-positive) and bacteria that produce butanediol fermentation (VP-positive). The test is commonly used to identify members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, such as Escherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes.
The MR-VP Culture Medium contains specific nutrients and indicators that allow for the detection of acid production (MR test) and acetoin production (VP test) by bacteria. The Methyl Red indicator turns red in the presence of acid, indicating a positive MR test result. The Voges-Proskauer reagents react with acetoin to produce a red color, indicating a positive VP test result.
In summary, Methyl Red-Voges-Proskauer Culture Medium is a specialized culture medium used for the MR-VP test to differentiate bacteria based on their metabolic characteristics. It falls under the supply class In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits And Sets in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
