Hardy Diagnostics™ KF Stretococcus Agar

Description

Recommended for the selective isolation and enumeration of fecal streptococci (including Enterococcus) from water and food samples by direct culture or membrane filtration

• Includes peptone as a source of nitrogen, amino acids and carbon
• Yeast extract provides a source of vitamins, amino acids and essential trace elements
• Maltose and lactose provide carbon as an energy source
• Sodium azide is a selective agent added to inhibit the growth of gram-negative microorganisms
• Bromcresol purple dye acts as an indicator.
• Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (TTC) is a colorless redox agent added to differentiate colonies on agar or membrane filters. When irreversibly reduced to formazan by actively growing cells, TTC forms a cellular insoluble red pigment that can be exploited for more efficient enumeration
