Rapid Furfural Test is a qualitative chemical test used to differentiate ketohexoses from aldohexoses based on the rate of dehydration reaction. It is mainly used for the identification of fructose and other ketose sugars in the presence of aldose sugars like glucose. It is based on the principle that ketohexoses are dehydrated rapidly when heated … Read more
This test also can differentiate between ketone functional groups and water-soluble carbohydrates.
Solubility Tests is a type of biochemical test which is performed to check the ability of compounds to dissolve within a liquid solvent.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that is naturally found within all the raw milks that is utilized to determine the quality of pasteurization of milk. A complete pasteurization process can deactivate the enzyme below levels that can be detected by traditional methods. Because the stability of the heat of ALP is higher than the stability of pathogens that could be found in milk, it serves as a metric of security. However, failure for detection of ALP activity is not a mean an item is safe from pathogens.
The biochemical test of Providencia stuartii refers to the group of laboratory tests that are used to identify this bacterium on the basis of its metabolic and enzymatic activities. It is a Gram-negative rod shaped facultative anaerobic organism belonging to the family Morganellaceae. In clinical microbiology these tests is carried out to differentiate Providencia stuartii … Read more
The carbohydrate fermentation test can be used to determine if bacteria are able to ferment a certain carbohydrate.
It is a test to determine any presence of acids or gas resulting from carbohydrate fermentation.
What is IMViC test? The IMViC test is a group of biochemical tests which is used for the identification and differentiation of bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is mainly used to distinguish fecal coliform bacteria from non-fecal coliform bacteria. The term IMViC is an acronym which stands for Indole, Methyl Red, Voges–Proskauer and … Read more
Iodine testing is a chemical test that distinguishes mono- or diaccharides from polysaccharides such as amylase, glycogen, and dextrin. Starch-iodine is a variant of this test. It’s used to determine if there is glucose in the leaves.
Fish locomotion is referred to as the movement of fish in water with the help of body muscles and fins. It is the process by which fish generate force against water to move from one place to another. This movement is carried out mainly for feeding, escaping from predators and migration. It is controlled by … Read more
What is Speciation? Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new species are formed from a pre-existing species. It is the process where a single ancestral population is gradually divided into two or more distinct species. This process occurs when population of a species becomes isolated from each other and the gene flow between them … Read more
