Which tests are testing for fermentation?
The carbohydrate fermentation test is used to determine whether or not a bacteria can utilize a certain carbohydrate. It tests for the presence of acid or gas produced from carbohydrate fermentation. The media in each tube contains a single carbohydrate – in this case glucose, lactose, and sucrose.
What tests are used specifically to identify fermentation activity?
Methyl Red / Voges-Proskauer (MR/VP)
This test is used to determine which fermentation pathway is used to utilize glucose. In the mixed acid fermentation pathway, glucose is fermented and produces several organic acids (lactic, acetic, succinic, and formic acids).
