1) Explain how we can use changes in PH to identify organisms that ferment certain sugars.
Homework Answers
When microorganisms ferment carbohydrates an acid or acid gas are produced. Commonly used substrates are glucose, lactose, sucrose etc. Depending upon the organism involved and the substrates being fermented, the end product can be lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, buthyl alcohol, carbondioxide, acetone and hydrogen.
If acid is formed after fermentation it lowers the PH of the medium, which can be detected by change in color of PH indicator.
Color change only occur when sufficient amount of acid is produced, as bacteria may utilize the peptone producing alkaline by product.
Commonly used PH indicator in carbohydrates fermentation is phenol red. Other PH indicator used are bromocresol, bromothymol.
Hope the answer is clear!! Please give positive ratings!! Thank you

Introduction: Selective and differential media are used frequently in Microbiology Pathology Labs to identify a known group of bacteria from a complex mix of other bacteria. The medium is designed to select against as many of the background organisms as possible by using a medium in which they will not grow but the organisms under investigation can grow hence the "Selective" part of the name. Any assayable...
