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.

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.
