Tetrazolium violet

2,5-Diphenyl-3-(1-naphthyl)tetrazolium chloride; 2,5-Diphenyl-3-(a-naphthyl)tetrazolium chloride; TV

Tetrazolium violet is a chemical that is used in the detection of bacterial growth. It can be used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of bactericidal activity on a variety of bacteria, including Shigella flexneri, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Citrobacter freundii. Tetrazolium violet is used in combination with other chemical inhibitors such as tetrazolium (TTZ), which is an intermediate compound in the electron transport chain. TTZ reacts with oxygen to form water and hydroxide ions. The hydroxide ions react with NADH to produce NAD+, which inhibits the production of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.
