Expert Solution
Step 1

The IMViC test includes four different tests that are used to identify and differentiate between the members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. The four tests are indole test (I), methyl red test (M), Voges-Proskauer test (V), citrate utilization test (C). The coliform group of microbes that include gram-negative facultative anaerobic microbes can be distinguished from each other on the basis of this test. It coupled with other biochemical tests like urease test, malonate test, and triple sugar iron test.
