Answer / biomaster
It is to detect the production of acid during fermentation
of glucose .five drops of 0.04% solution of methyl red are
added to the culture in glucose phosphate medium incubated
at 30 C for five days .red colour is positive and yellow
shows that it is a negative bacteria.

Answer / bharti
It is used to identify bacteria producing stable acids by
mechanism of mixed acid fermentation of glucose.It is also
used to identify Enteric bacteria based on their patern of
glucose metabolism

Answer / roopasunil
The methyl red test is the "M" portion of the four IMViC
tests used to characterize enteric bacteria. The methyl red
test is used to identify enteric bacteria based on their
pattern of glucose metabolism. All enterics initially
produce pyruvic acid from glucose metabolism. Some enteric
subsequently use the mixed acid pathway to metabolize
pyruvic acid to other acids, such as lactic, acetic, and
formic acids. These bacteria are called methyl-red positive
and include Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris. Other
enterics subsequently use the buytylene glycol pathway to
metabolize pyruvic acid to neutral end-products. These
bacteria are called methyl-red-negative and include
Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter aerogenes

Why we are maintaining the autoclave temperature at 121degree centigrade and pressure at 15lbs? Why we are not maintaining the temperature and pressure above or below 121degree centigrade and 15lbs? higher temperature also kills microbes. then why we are not maintaining it above 121degree? what is the reason?
