General description

The mannose fermentation test is based on the fermentation ability of mannose 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. Mannose can be used to differentiate Enterobacteriaceae and other organisms.
