cyanobacteria
negative
It means that the bacterial organism uses the butylene glycol pathway; producing acetoin (acetylmethylcarbinol). This specific compound is produced only by bacteria that utilize this pathway. Usually (but not always) a positive Voges-Proskauer (VP) test indicates the organism is negative for the methyl red (MR) test. Both the MR and VP tests are usually done using the same culture; after dividing it into two equal volumes.
K. oxytoca will be indole-positive while K. pneumonia is indole-negative
Alpha napthol and a mixture of creatine with KOH
Voges Proskauer and Cysteine Test. I think...
positive
negative
Staphylococcus epidermidis indole test - negative methyl red - negative voges proskauer test - positive citrate test - no idea

Incubation times for the voges proskauer test should be exactly 48 hours because lengths longer or shorter can skew results. However, methyl red may benefit from incubating longer than 48 hours.
The B.cereus has a positive citrate test and a negative Voges Proskauer.
It is abbreviated MR/VP. MR stands for methyl red, and VP stands for Voges-Proskauer. It is used to identify bacteria producing stable acids by mechanisms of mixed acid fermentation and glucose. I found this on wikipedia.com.
reaction of voges-proskauer test
The methyl red test is read immediately because fermentation occurs within a short time to produce an acid. Conversely, because oxidation requires more time, the Voges-Proskauer test is read after about an hour.

MR n VP tests always made wid each other becoz da media used for performing da test is divided into two parts n then used simaltaneously....
