Simmons Citrate Agar (500 g) is a dehydrated microbiological medium used to test the ability of organisms to utilize citrate as their sole carbon source. It is a standard biochemical reagent for differentiating enteric bacteria.
🧪 Applications
• Differentiation of enteric bacteria based on citrate utilization.
• Biochemical testing in microbiology labs.
• Indicator medium: bromothymol blue changes from green to blue when citrate is metabolized, indicating alkalinity.
