Description

Use OF King Medium to determine oxidative and fermentative metabolism of carbohydrates by gram-negative bacilli.

Determine oxidative and fermentative metabolism of carbohydrates by gram-negative bacilli using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ OF King Medium. Hugh and Leifson first reported that microorganisms which utilize carbohydrates oxidatively produce only a minimal amount of acid1. Oxidative-Fermentative (OF) Medium was developed with a ratio of peptone to carbohydrate that minimized the formation of alkaline by-products and enhanced acid production by oxidative organisms. OF Medium is especially suitable for determining the carbohydrate metabolic pathway of gram-negative bacilli2.

Typical fermentation media contain approximately 2% peptone and 1% carbohydrate. In media containing high concentrations of peptones, oxidative microorganisms produce alkaline by-products in quantities that neutralize the acid produced from carbohydrat
