IMViC test

The document discusses biochemical tests used for the identification of bacterial species, particularly coliforms, based on their biochemical activities. It details the IMViC tests, which include Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Proskauer, and Citrate tests to differentiate coliforms like E. coli and Enterobacter aerogenes. Key findings include the methods to observe positive and negative results in these tests, which are important for determining the metabolic capabilities of various bacteria.
