22 mar 2023 · Most commonly used is phenol red mannitol broth. The medium is a nutrient broth to which 0.5-1.0% mannitol is added. The pH indicator phenol red is red at neutral pH but turns yellow at pH <6.8. It also changes to magenta or hot pink at pH >8.4. How is the test performed?

The prepared broth media will be a light red color and the final pH should be 7.4 ± 0.2. Alternatively, prepare phenol red broth base, heat sterilize and cool to 45°C. Prepare specific carbohydrate solution separately, and filter the solution using membrane filter (pore size: 0.45 μm). Add carbohydrate solution to the broth base and mix it.
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 Mannitol Broth is a liquid medium recommended to differentiate microorganisms based on their ability to ferment the carbohydrate Mannitol.
