You searched for: Media for Microbiology
Microbiology media facilitate the detection, isolation, and cultivation of microorganism colonies. Culture media additives and supplements enhance the growth capability of specific organisms. Prepared nutrient broths help establish the complex environment that even fastidious organisms require. Containing the nutritional elements that enable cells to multiply, the predetermined substance quantities add additional control to tests. Choose the gel or liquid microbiology media that is most compatible with working cell types.

Listeria selective agar, Chromocult®
Supplier: Merck
This medium conforms to the ALOA (agar Listeria acc. to Ottaviani and Agosti) medium, a selective medium for the isolation of Listeria monocytogenes in food (AFNOR-validated method). It also enables the testing, sampling and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp. in foodstuffs and other source materials. The rich base of the Chromocult® Listeria selective agar encourages excellent growth. The supplement of inhibitors stops most of the bacteria, yeast and fungi from growing. In contrast, Listeria is uninhibited in its growth, producing blue-green colonies; L. monocytogenes also form an opaque halo.

Culture media, Chromocult® and Fluorocult®
Supplier: Merck
Chromogenic media offer a method for rapid identification of characteristic bacterial enzymes. Merck offers a wide range of solid and liquid culture media that also permits the fluorescence detection of E. coli under the trade name Fluorocult®. Fluorocult® culture media have the same components as the standard media and additionally the substrate MUG. Some of the media also contain tryptophan as the substrate for a possible indole reaction to further confirm E. coli presence. The Fluorocult® method can produce a positive result within just 24 to 48 hours. In the case of the chromogenic media, a direct identification, using the characteristic colony colouring on the culture medium itself is possible without the application of further additives. A differentiation of positive single colonies is possible, even when high microbial counts are present.

Dehydrated culture media, TOS-propionate agar (base)
Supplier: Merck
In combination with the selective supplement Lithium-Mupirocin (MUP) the TOS Propionate agar allows the direct detection of viable bifidobacteria in starter cultures and various milk products like fermented and unfermented milk, milk powder and baby food. The growth of other lactic acid bacteria is very much inhibited so that a confirmation of presumptive bifodobacteria is in most cases not necessary.
