red
it becomes an orange-red color
phenol red
A benzene ring with one -OH.
water
You use methyl red as a ph indicator for for the MRVP test.
Phenol red is a pH indicator. The baking soda is not changing color, but the phenol red is.
Phenol red is a weak acid.
A solution of phenol red is a liquid.

Phenol red is made by condensation of Phenol and saccharine.pH below 6.8 = YellowpH above 8.2 = Red/FuschiaGradually turns from yellow to red/fuschia (pH between 6.8 and 8.2 = Pinkish)
Methyl red differs from Phenolred (which is used in the fermentation test and the MSA plates) in that it is yellow at pH 6.2 and above and red at pH 4.4 and below. Phenol red turns yellow below a pH of 6.8. If you get a positive with methyl red and a negative with phenol red, the pH has to be between 6.7 and 6.1.
To determine if a bacterium can ferment a particular carbohydrate and determine the end products of that fermentation
red
Phenol red is yellow under pH=6,8 and pink over a pH=8,2.
Boil red cabbage in water to make phenol red. This works well depending on how long you boil it will determine the strength of the solution.
Phenol red acts as the pH indicator. Turning yellow as the ph lowers (acidic environments) and deep red when the ph is high (alkaline environment)
