this test is used to identify bacteria which use citrate as sole source of carbon e.g klebsila, pseudomonas aerogenosa
Positive
The color changes from the slant's original green to blue, indicationg that the species is able to utilize citrate as a carbon source. Thus, it is POSITIVE
This Bacillus is the source of BamH 1 restitution enzyme, and as the name indicates it freaks down starch, but I know nothing of citrate utilization by this bacteria.
No, Serratia and Klebsiella test positive for citrate. E.Coli tests negative.
M. Morganii is citrate negative
The positive test control organism for citrate utilization test is Klebsiella pneumoniae
Positive
The test indicates if an organism utilizes Citrate as it's only source of Carbon. Positive results will show growth on slant as well as changing the medium from green to blue (ph indicator)

Based on my own test, Shigella flexneri tests negative for the citrate test.
Citrate Permease is an enzyme that is responsible for transporting citrate inside the cell. Some bacteria have this enzyme while others do not. You can test for the presence of citrate permease by performing a Simmon's Citrate biochemical test.
assay test of sodium acid citrate
No, Serratia and Klebsiella test positive for citrate. E.Coli tests negative.
Citrate, a Krebs cycle (i.e., TCA cycle or citric acid cycle) intermediate, is generated by many bacteria; however, utilization of exogenous citrate requires the presence of citrate transport proteins (permeases). Upon uptake by the cell, citrate is cleaved by citrate lyase to oxaloacetate and acetate. The oxaloacetate is then metabolized to pyruvate and CO2.
M. Morganii is citrate negative
Voges Proskauer and Cysteine Test. I think...
