General description
The mannitol fermentation test is based on the fermentation ability of mannitol which results in the production of acid as end product, the pH of the liquid basal medium will drop and an indicator change the color to red. Some organisms produce additional CO2 gas which can be made visible with a Durham’s tube. Mannitol can be used to differentiate Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus aureus, and also other microorganisms.
