Product Description
Phenol Red Inositol Broth is a specialized microbial medium designed to identify bacteria capable of fermenting inositol. This differential broth contains phenol red as a pH indicator, which turns yellow in the presence of acid produced during fermentation. It is widely used in microbiology labs, research facilities, and educational institutions for studying carbohydrate metabolism in microorganisms.
The medium is prepared by dissolving the powder in distilled water, sterilizing it, and inoculating it with the test organism. A positive result (yellow color change) indicates inositol fermentation, while a negative result (red or pink) suggests no fermentation. This broth is particularly useful for distinguishing between different bacterial species based on their metabolic capabilities.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments or a researcher analyzing microbial behavior, Phenol Red Inositol Broth provides reliable results. Order now from eqipped for authentic Himedia products delivered to your lab.
