Product Overview
Phenol Red Mannitol Broth is a specialized medium designed for the differentiation and identification of enteric bacteria based on their ability to ferment mannitol. This broth contains phenol red, a pH indicator that changes color in response to acid production, providing a clear visual indication of bacterial activity. The medium is formulated to support the growth of a wide range of microorganisms while specifically highlighting those that can ferment mannitol, producing a yellow color due to acid production. This makes it an invaluable tool in microbiological laboratories for diagnostic purposes. The high-quality ingredients ensure reliable and consistent results, making it suitable for both educational and research applications. Its ease of use and clear interpretation of results make it a preferred choice for students, researchers, and educators alike.
