nafees_mal Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 in citrate utilization test the enzymatic degradation of citrate yields two products, pyruvic acid and carbon dioxide. the pH goes up (alkaline) due to the fact that co2 is changed in to sodium carbonate (because sodium is present in water). but why the pH doesn't go down (acidic) or atleast stay same as pyruvic ACID is also produced??
