NEOGEN PPLO Broth Base without Crystal Violet, 10 kg

Supplier: NEOGEN 700003290

PPLO Broth Base without Crystal Violet is used with enrichments for the isolation and cultivation of Mycoplasma spp. in a laboratory setting. PPLO Broth without Crystal Violet is not intended for the use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. PPLO Broth Base without Crystal Violet is prepared according to the formula described by Morton and Lecce. Crystal Violet may inhibit the growth of Mycoplasma, and therefore was removed from an earlier formula described by Morton, Smith, Williams, and Eikenberg. Mycoplasma was discovered in a case of pleuropneumonia in a cow, and referred to as “pleuropneumonia-like organism” or PPLO. Mycoplasmas belong to the class of Mollicutes “soft skin”, which are the smallest free-living organisms. They are pleomorphic, varying in size from 0.2 to 0.3 μm.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/pplo-broth-base-without-crystal-violet
