If I recall properly, methyl red transitions between about pH 4 and pH 6, so it would not be a good indicator for sodium hypochlorite bleach which has a pH above 7.

When do you use methyl red instead of phenol red?

Methyl red is typically used in pH tests to determine if a solution is acidic (pH<4.4), while phenol red is typically used to approximate the pH of a solution (between pH 6.8-8.4). Use methyl red when you need to indicate a more acidic pH level, and phenol red for a broader pH range closer to neutral.


Do most of the streptococcus species react with methyl red?

No, most streptococcus species do not react with methyl red because they are not known to produce mixed-acid fermentation products that lower the pH and turn the methyl red indicator red. Streptococci typically metabolize carbohydrates through the fermentation pathway which does not produce the necessary acids for a positive methyl red test.


Why is methyl red indicator more suitable?

Methyl red is used as a pH indicator or for the identification of some bacteria.


What is the color of methyl red in boric acid and mannitol?

Methyl red will appear yellow in a boric acid solution and red in a mannitol solution.


What colour will methyl orange turn in vinegar?

What is range of methyl orange?

The pH range of methyl orange is typically between 3.1 (red) and 4.4 (yellow).


Is staphylococcus aureus negative for the methyl red test?

Yes, Staphylococcus aureus is negative for the methyl red test due to its inability to produce stable acids from glucose fermentation. This distinguishes it from other enteric bacteria that are positive for the methyl red test.


In chemistry what is an orange?

Methyl orange is an intensely colored compound used in dyeing and printing textiles. Chemists use methyl orange as an indicator in the titration of weak bases with strong acids. It changes from red (at pH 3.1) to orange-yellow (at pH 4.4).


What colour in calcium hydroxide is methyl orange?

Methyl orange turns red in the presence of calcium hydroxide.


Is staphylococcus aureus methyl red positive?

Staphylococcus aureus is typically methyl red negative. Methyl red test is used to determine the ability of an organism to perform mixed-acid fermentation of glucose, with a positive result indicating a significant drop in pH. Staphylococcus aureus is not known to produce enough acid to yield a positive result with the methyl red test.
