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". Triple sugar iron test (TSI), Urease Test and Malonate Test are also included in this test.
For each of the tests, different reagents are added to the species are inoculated and tested.
For Salmonella sp. the IMViC Test result is:
Indole - negative
Methyl red - Positive
Voges-Proskauer - negative
Citrate - positive
Rods and cones are similar in that they both release glutamate as the primary neurotransmitter. During signalling the rod and cone photoreceptors signal their absorption of photons via a decrease in the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate to bipolar cells at its axon terminal. Every rod and cone photoreceptor release the same neurotransmitter, glutamate.
The Xylem transports water and minerals while the Phloem transport organic nutrients
