| Application: | Bromothymol blue dye serves as a pH indicator because of the precise color transition at neutrality. Other applications include: • as a vital stain to trace the movement of fluids from the lymph and to define cell walls or nuclei under the microscope • for the demonstration of fungal hyphae within plant roots • in the assessment of the soluble acidity within single rice grains • use in an agar gel medium for enumeration of Bacillus cereus • as a component of several bacterial growth and detection substrates such as cystine lactose electrolyte deficient (CLED/BROLACIN); polymyxin pyruvate egg yolk mannitol bromothymol blue (PEMBA) and MacConkey agar. |
