Motility Test Medium w/TTC Indicator is a semisolid media that is used to demonstrate motility in microorganisms. Agar provides a semisolid medium which allows macroscopic motility interpretations. TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride) allows visual enhancement of bacterial growth. Tetrazolium salt is colorless, but as the organism grows the dye is incorporated into bacterial cells and is reduced to an insoluble red pigment, formazan. This red color forms only in the area where bacteria is growing.
