Principle and Interpretation

Phenol Red Broth Base w/ Hiveg extract no. 1 is a complete medium without added carbohydrates. The carbohydrate of choice can be added for determination of fermentation reactions of pure cultures of microorganisms (1, 2). It can also be used as a negative control for studying fermentation reactions. Ability of an organism to ferment specific carbohydrate added in the basal medium, results in the production of acid and gas which helps in the differentiation between genera and species.

HiVeg hydrolysate and HiVeg extract no.1 provide nitrogenous nutrients to the organisms. Phenol red is the pH indicator which turns yellow at acidic pH. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium.
