Product Overview

Phenol Red Sucrose Broth is used in the differentiation of the bacteria by Sucrose fermentation. The nutrient in this formulation is carbohydrate free casein peptone which prevent false positive reactions. Microorganisms which ferment Sucrose produce acid and change the Phenol Red indicator to yellow. Durham tubes added to the culture medium prior to sterilization will detect gas production. Phenol Red Sucrose Broth is used for the determination of Sucrose fermentation by pure cultures of microorganisms. (Alpha Biosciences # P16-123-2Kg)
