Voges–Proskauer / ˈ f oʊ ɡ ə s ˈ p r ɒ s k aʊ. ər / or VP is a test used to detect acetoin in a bacterial broth culture. The test is performed by adding alpha-naphthol and potassium hydroxide to the Voges-Proskauer broth, which is a glucose-phosphate broth that has been inoculated with bacteria.
A positive test is represented by the development of red color in 15 minutes or more after addition of the reagents, indicating the presence of diacetyl, the oxidation product of acetoin. The test should be red, after standing for 1 hour because negative VP cultures may produce copper-like colour potentially resulting in a false positive ...
The term "IMViC" is an acronym for each of these tests. "I" is for indole test; "M" is for methyl red test; "V" is for Voges-Proskauer test, and "C" is for citrate test. The lower case "i" is merely for "in" as the Citrate test requires coliform samples to be placed "in Citrate". These tests are useful in distinguishing members of ...
The Voges-Proskauer test is a commonly used microbiological test for acetoin production. [4] Uses. Food ingredients. Acetoin, along with diacetyl, is one of the ...
The Voges-Proskauer test detects whether a bacterium is producing the product acetoin from the digestion of glucose. [38] Cellular fatty acid based identification
Butanediol fermentation is typical for the facultative anaerobes Klebsiella and Enterobacter [1] and is tested for using the Voges–Proskauer (VP) test. There are other alternative strains that can be used, talked about in details in the Alternative Bacteria Strains section below. Figure 2: The fermentation process to produce butanediol

Much of Proskauer's research dealt with disinfections and water hygiene issues. [1] With physician Daniel Wilhelm Otto Voges, he developed the Voges–Proskauer test, a chemical reaction used in testing for the production of acetoin by various bacteria. [2] With Richard Pfeiffer, he edited the Encyklopädie der Hygiene (2 volumes, 1902–05). [3]
