A cofactor<span> is a non-protein chemical compound or metallic ion that is required for a protein's </span>biological<span> activity to happen. These proteins are commonly enzymes, and </span>cofactors can<span> be considered "helper molecules" that assist in biochemical transformations.</span>
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
A phospholipid is a lipid made of a phosphate group with two fatty acids.
A second messenger is a molecule inside cells that acts to transmit signals from a receptor to a target.
