Phenol Red Mannitol Broth is used to study mannitol fermentation in various bacteria. Proteose peptone and beef extract serve as sources for carbon and nitrogen. Sodium chloride is the osmotic stabilizer. Phenol red is the pH indicator, which turns yellow at acidic pH i.e. on fermentation of mannitol. Gas formation is seen in Durhams tubes.
Phenol Red Broth Base contains proteose peptone and beef extract which provides the carbon and nitrogen required for good growth of a wide variety of organisms. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium. Mannitol is the fermentable carbohydrate. Phenol red serves as a pH indicator. A positive mannitol fermentation reaction is ...
Phenol red is commonly used as a pH indicator in carbohydrate fermentation tests because most of the end-productsof carbohydrate utilization are organic acids (8). However, other pH indicators such as bromocresol/bromcresol purple, bromothymol/bromthymol blue, and Andrade’s can be used (Table 1).

10 sie 2022 · 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 Mannitol Broth is used for the determination of fermentation of mannitol in the differentiation of microorganisms. The ability of an organism to ferment a specific carbohydrate in the basal medium, results in the production of acid and gas, which helps in the differentiation between the genera and species of bacteria.
Phenol Red broth (PR) is a differential test medium containing one carbohydrate (glucose, lactose or mannitol), peptone and the pH indicator phenol red. PR is yellow below pH 6.8, pink to magenta above pH 7.4, and red in between. If a species can ferment the sugar, then acids will
