Most bacteria in Tribe V are able to utilize Citrate, with the exception of Hafnia and Pantoea (+/-). The 2 most common Klebsiella (oxytoca and pneumoniae), can utilize citrate, so should be citrate positive.
yes, Bacillus subtilis has a positive reaction for both VP and citrate.
Bacillus cereus does not ferment citrate or sucrose.
yes, turns purple to yello with production of gas and acidity
It is citrate positive
negative
no it is positive
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.
urease negative
It would turn red
Indol Test ( Kovac's Reagent): E.a. = negative = yellow/gold ring at meniscus; as for E.c. = positive = red ring at meniscus (immediate change). Methyl Red Test (Methyl Red Reagent): E.a. = negative = yellow = pH > 7.0; as for E.c. = red color = pH < 5 (immediate change). Vogues-Proskauer Test (Napthol + KOH Reagent): E.a. = positive = reddish color (not immediate change); as for E.c. = negative = brown/yellow (straw color). Citrate (Bromothymol Blue Reagent - alkaline pH): E.a. = positive = blue color + growth; as for E.c. = negative = green color.
yes
no it is positive
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.
urease negative

methyl red will disappear
You use methyl red as a ph indicator for for the MRVP test.
Methyl red is used as a pH indicator or for the identification of some bacteria.
The color of methyl orange is red. The color is red when the acetic acid is below pH 3.1.
Methyl Orange, Phenolphthalein, Litmus, Red Cabbage, Hydrangeas flower, Methyl red, Naptholpthalein, Bromophenol Blue
It would turn red
