Bacteria have been the very first organisms to live on Earth
The term "IMViC" is an acronym for each of these tests. "I" is for indole test; "M" is for methyl red test; "V" is for Voges-Proskauer test, and "C" is for citrate test. The lower case "i" is merely for "in" as the Citrate test requires coliform samples to be placed "in Citrate". Triple sugar iron test (TSI), Urease Test and Malonate Test are also included in this test.
For each of the tests, different reagents are added to the species are inoculated and tested.
For Salmonella sp. the IMViC Test result is:
Indole - negative
Methyl red - Positive
Voges-Proskauer - negative
Citrate - positive
A hypothesis for this observation might be that malaria is not endemic to southern Africa. It is a plausible explanation of a given scientific question.
<h3>Hypothesis and scientific method</h3>
A hypothesis is a plausible explanation of an observation of the natural world, which must be tested by using the scientific method.
Testing a hypothesis involves performing additional observational and/or experimental procedures in order to confirm or reject this assumption.
In this case, the sickle cell allele is found in high frequency in regions where malaria is endemic.

Endocytosis is the process where a cell imports large things into the cell. All forms of endocytosis are active, meaning the cell expends ATP while performing this process. Specifically, a style of endocytosis called phagocytosis involves a cell surrounding the target material with its cell membrane and encloses it while bringing it into the cell. This enclosed membrane bound material then pinches off into a spherical 'vesicle'. An example of this can be a cell importing a protein into its cellular space.
