3.1.4.Solutions and indicators in biochemical identification (Cruickshank et al., 1975): 3.1.4.1. Oxidase reagent (Bio-Merieux, 1980) Freshly prepared 1%solution of tetra methyl-p-phenylene diamine dihydrochloride was used to test for oxidase production. 3.1.4.2. Kovac's reagent: Pdimethylaminobenzaldhyde 10 g Amyl alcohol 150 ml Concentrated HCl 50 ml 3.1.4.3. Methyl Red Reagent: (M.R) Methyl red 0.1 g Ethyl alcohol 95% 300.0 ml Distilled water 200.0 ml 3.1.4.4.Voges-Proskauer (V.P.) test reagents: To 5ml of a 48-hours at 37°C, 3ml of alcoholic solution of naphthol and 1ml of 40% of potassium hydroxide solutions were added. Pink colored ring developed withen 10-15 min. while negative if there is no pink ring. 3.1.4.5. Urea solution (40%) (Oxoid, sr20) 3.1.4.6. H2S production: Triple sugar iron (T.S.I) (oxoid) examination was done daily up to the 7 th day for detection of H2S production as well as for gas production. 34
