title: One-tube test for determining oxidative or fermentative metabolism of bacteria.
abstract: A one-tube test for distinguishing oxidation from fermentation in the metabolism of carbohydrates was examined on 1,200 gram-negative bacilli. There was a 100% correlation between the one-tube method and the standard two-tube procedure.
