Alkali Scientific Neutral Creatine Sucrose(CSN) Broth 30mL Plate, 10/Pk

Supplier: Alkali Scientific CSNP00
Neutral Creatine Sucrose (CSN) medium is a specialized differential medium used primarily in food mycology for the identification and differentiation of Penicillium species. It is particularly valuable in dairy microbiology for distinguishing species associated with cheese production, including Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium commune. The formulation uses creatine as the primary nitrogen source and sucrose as the carbon source, while bromocresol purple serves as a pH indicator to detect metabolic activity. Organisms capable of strong acid production turn the medium from purple to yellow, whereas weak or non acid producing species leave the medium unchanged. The deep fill plate format provides an optimal environment for fungal growth and diagnostic observation.
