Description

Cultivate and enumerate heterotrophic microorganisms from water by membrane filtration method using m-HPC Agar.

Cultivate and enumerate heterotrophic microorganisms from water by membrane filtration method Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ m-HPC Agar (Heterotrophic Plate Count Agar). Taylor and Geldreich developed m-HPC Agar for monitoring levels of heterotrophic bacteria which can grow on minimal organic nutrients1. m-HPC Agar is recommended by the American Public Health Association (APHA) in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater2.

Heterotrophs are microorganisms that use an external source of organic carbon for growth. Heterotrophic bacteria counts are used to indicate problems with treatment methods within distribution systems. Heterotrophic Plate Count Method is widely used to enumerate heterotrophic microorganism in drinking water and other media.

Use m-HCP Agar for cultivation and enumeration of heterotrophic microorganisms from water by membrane filtration method.

  • Recommended by the American Public Health Association (APHA) in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater2.
  • Ready-to-use – Convenience of prepared media.

This medium contains peptone that supplies minerals, amino acids, and nitrogenous compounds necessary for the growth of heterotrophic microorganisms. Gelatin in the medium is used by microorganisms in proteolytic metabolism. Glycerol acts as a source of energy and agar is the solidifying agent.
