You will do this regardless since Indole is part of the SIM media....this media will turn black if H2S is present and you read it for motility just like standard motility media. It must incubate for 24-28 hrs before doing the indole portion. Hope this helps.

because kovac's reagent is used for indole production test and for both mean indole and H2S test SIM Medium is used and it is possible to do both test together for one particular organism.

it is also possible that org. show both positive or both negetive.

if SIM Medium converk black mean H2S production and after kovac reagent addition if a red ring is formed mean indole production.

there is no requirement of any reagent addition for H2S TEST.

Why anthrone reagent needs to be kept cold before using?

Anthrone reagent is prepared in concentrated sulfuric acid. Adding reagents to acid causes immediate dissociation of the reagent and releases heat. If your solution weren't cold, it could generate enough heat to blow out of the flask or bottle.

Why are solutions heated before evaporation?

well i THINK heating the solution will speed up the reaction in the solution before adding the precipitate since the final observation required is the precipitation. you dont add the reagent before heating since it may give a false observation after heating, it might not precipitate normally but since you've otherwise it might.
