No, the F in OF is specifically for fermentation. if you get a change in PH in the "F" part of that test, the organism can use fermentation for a metabolic pathway.

Ohhh ok. So if it’s oxidative in open medium and ferments in sealed it has both pathways? And I guess they can be oxidative only and fermentative only. Or just not mess with that sugar. Thank you! That helps me get it.
