NEOGEN EC Medium with MUG, 500 g

Supplier: NEOGEN 700003271

EC Medium w/ MUG is used for the fluorogenic detection of Escherichia coli in a laboratory setting. EC Medium w/ MUG is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.EC Medium was developed by Hajna and Perry in an effort to improve the methods for the detection of the coliform group and E. coli. This medium consists of a buffered lactose broth with the addition of 0.15% Bile Salts Mixture. Growth of spore-forming bacteria is inhibited by the bile salts, while growth of E. coli is enhanced by its presence. EC Medium w/ MUG is the same formula as EC Medium, with the addition of 4-methylumbelliferyl-ß-D-glucuronide. Feng and Hartman developed a rapid assay for E. coli by incorporating 4-methylumbelliferyl-ß-D-glucuronide (MUG) into Lauryl Tryptose Broth at a final concentration of 100 ɥg/mL.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/ec-medium-with-mug
