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.

When do you use methyl red instead of phenol red?
You use methyl red as a ph indicator for for the MRVP test.
What can be added to HCl to turn red?
Methyl Red Indicator
What is the name of the solution to test for acids or alkalis?
There are various ways to test for an acid and an alkali. For acidic solution: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> red Phenolphthalein --> colorless Methyl orange --> pink Universal Indicator (changes color according to the strength of acid) --> red to yellow. For alkaline solutions: Litmus paper/ litmus solution --> blue Phenolphthalein --> pink Methyl orange --> yellow Universal Indicator --> blue green to purple
Is staphylococcus aureus methyl red positive?
yes
How does methyl orange react with an acid?
It turns red.
When do you use methyl red instead of phenol red?
You use methyl red as a ph indicator for for the MRVP test.
Is staphylococcus aureus negative for the methyl red test?
no it is positive
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR AN ORGANISM TO BE POSITIVE FOR GLUCOSE USE IN A PHENOL RED TEST BUT NEGATIVE IN THE METHYL RED TEST?
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.
What are results of Imvic test on staphylococci?
Staphylococcus epidermidis indole test - negative methyl red - negative voges proskauer test - positive citrate test - no idea
What would happen if you omitted methyl red in the reaction mixture?
methyl red will disappear
Why is methyl red indicator more suitable?
Methyl red is used as a pH indicator or for the identification of some bacteria.
Which test would likely benefit most from longer incubation time methyl red or voges proskauer?
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.
What are 3 indcators?
Methyl Orange, Phenolphthalein, Litmus, Red Cabbage, Hydrangeas flower, Methyl red, Naptholpthalein, Bromophenol Blue
What colour is methyl orange in ch3ooh?
The color of methyl orange is red. The color is red when the acetic acid is below pH 3.1.
When you add an acid to an alkali it changes to a neutral which colour change would this show with an indicator?
It depends on the indicator and there are quite a few. Methyl Red, Methyl orange and Phenolphthalein are 3 such acid-base indicators. If phenolphthalein is used as the indicator and added to the base it would immediately turn red/pink. As acid is titrated in, the red/pink will disappear and go colorless.
In methyl red testing what does E.coli do?
It would turn red
What can be added to HCl to turn red?
Methyl Red Indicator
