The agar slant will remain the original color (yellow). However, most labs use the broth.Two media types are commonly used to detect urease activity. Christensen’s urea agar is used to detect urease activity in a variety of microorganisms. Stuart’s urea broth is used primarily for the differentiation of Proteus species.
Genus proteus is know for their fast hydrolysis of urea into ammonia. In presence of proteus the agar slant quickly turns pink (positve) while known proteus would be yellowish. The pink color is a sign of alkaline presence and the increase of pH (7-8.5) and phenol red is the pH color indicator. http://www.microbelibrary.org/Laboratory%20Diagnostics/details.asp?id=457&Lang=
The composition of spirit blue agar is: casin enzyme hydrolyset 10g yeast extract 5g spiritblue 0.15g agar 15g ph 6.8
Because nutrient agar pH is low and it has less property to antibiotic diffusion that;why we use MHA for antibiotic suseptibility testing on ph variation antibiotic does not properly work
Complete hydrolysis of chromosomal nucleic acids gave inorganic phosphate, 2-deoxyribose and four different heterocyclic bases
Hydrolysis of urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia is catalyzed by the enzyme urease.

Acidic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in an acid solution (pH under 7) Basic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in a basic solution (pH above 7)

Urease positive means that an organism can produce the enzyme urease, which reacts with urea to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. This reaction can be detected by the change in pH of the media, typically turning it pink or red. Urease positivity is often used in microbiology to help identify certain bacterial species.
None
When determining the ability of a bacteria to degrade urea by means of the enzyme urease. To diagnose H. pylori and identification of the genus Proteus, Providentia, Kelbsiella, and Morganella by their fast urease activity.
It will cause the culture to become more basic...an increase in pH
The pH of a milk sample will go down due to carboylate anions. The hydrolysis is performed with triacylglycerols to glycerol.
It depends on the pH.
Phenol Red
sabourauds agar contains the following : peptone : 1 g glucose : 4 g agar :3 g d/w : 100ml PH : 5.4
