HI THERE:
I am having problem obtaining a positive test for Methy Red (MR)
and Voges-Proskauer (VP) reaction.
I have grew Enterobacter aerogenes & Serratia marcescens in
MR-VP broth at 35 C for 48 hrs. Five drops of MR were added.
on one set of MR-VP broth. Twelve drops of VP reagent I and
three drops of VP reagent II were added to the second set of
MR-VP broth. All reagents were made fresh on the day of the test.
Still I can't seem to get any positive reaction at all. What
am I doing wrong. Your helpful advice would greatly be appreciate.
Thank you
