  • Title: Proteus penneri showing a green colour reaction with Kovacs' indole reagent.
    Author: Müller HE.
    Journal: Zentralbl Bakteriol Mikrobiol Hyg A; 1986 Apr; 261(2):198-203. PubMed ID: 3526760.
    Abstract:
    All 33 investigated strains of Proteus penneri gave a green colour reaction with Kovacs' indole reagent after an incubation of about three days at 36 degrees C. Furthermore, 26% of the 51 strains of Proteus mirabilis studied also showed the green colour reaction but somewhat more weakly. The initial compound of this reaction seems to be a product of tryptophan metabolism which is formed only under aerobic conditions.
