1. Phenol red glucose broth. Inoculate 3 mL broth with 2 mm loopful of culture. Incubate tubes anaerobically 24 h at 35°C in GasPak anaerobic jar. Shake tubes vigorously and observe for growth as indicated by increased turbidity and color change from red to yellow, which indicates that acid has been produced anaerobically from glucose. A partial color change from red to orange/yellow may occur, even in uninoculated control tubes, due to a pH reduction upon exposure of media to CO2 formed in GasPak anaerobic jars.
