Description

General description

The rhamnose fermentation test is based on the fermentation ability of rhamnose which results in the production of acid as end products, the pH of the liquid basal medium will drop and an indicator changes the color to red. Some organisms produce additional CO2 gas which can be made visible with a Durham’s tube. Rhamnose can be used to differentiate Enterobacteriaceae and Listeria species.

Application

Rhamnose Discs are recommended to detect rhamnose fermenting bacteria in food and environmental samples. They find their application in various sectors such as the food and dairy industry, water industry, pharmaceutical laboratory testing, cosmetic industry, environmental and sanitary testing, clinical diagnostic, etc.
