TSI
-A/A
Utilize glucose and/or lactose and/or sucrose
TSI
-No gas production
Nonaerogenic
TSI
Gas production

Phenylalanine deaminase
Indole
If organism has enzyme tryptophanase, it will deaminate tryptophan & make product indole
Methyl red
Glucose is metabolized by mixed acid fermentation & produces an acidic end product, which decreases the pH & gives a color change
