- CITRATE TESTThis test determines the ability of bacteria to use citrate as source of carbon andinorganic ammonium salt as a source of nitrogen. The following are the stepwise procedurein conducting citrate test:1. Infuse the Simmons citrate agar on the slant by touching the tip of sterilized needleto a colony.2. Incubate at 37 degree Celsius for 24 to 48 hours.A positive result is indicated by the pH indicator, bromothymol blue which turns the growthgreen to blue.
