Bromocresol green (BCG) indicator is used as a pH indicator in applications such as growth mediums for microorganisms and titrations. Bromocresol green (BCG) is a dye of the triphenylmethane family (triarylmethane dyes). The compound is synthesized by bromination of cresol purple (m-cresolsulfonphthalein). In aqueous solution, Bromocresol green will ionize to give the monoanionic form (yellow), that further deprotonates at higher pH to give the dianionic form (blue), which is stabilized by resonance. The Dissociation constant (pKa) of this reaction is 4.8. It becomes yellow at acidic pH level (pH 3.8) and Blue green at from pH 5.4.
