Remel™ Voges-Proskauer A Test
Número de catálogo: R21200
Determine the ability of gram-negative bacilli to produce acetylmethylcarbinol (acetoin) from glucose fermentation using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ 5% Alpha Naphthol Reagent for Voges-Proskauer A Test. In 1898, Voges and Proskauer reported production of acetylmethylcarbinol from glucose fermentation by certain bacteria when grown in an appropriate medium such as MR-VP Broth1,2. Later Barret made the VP test more sensitive by using 5% Alpha Naphthol (VP-A) to the medium for the detection of acetylmethylcarbinol3.
