Description

Demonstrate motility, primarily in nonfermentative, gram negative bacilli, using Motility B Medium.

Demonstrate motility in nonfermentative, gram negative bacilli with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Motility B Medium.

Motility B Medium was formulated by Gilardi with a reduced agar concentration to facilitate the appearance of motility by non-fermentative, gram-negative bacilli such as pseudomonads1,2. The Gard plate technique that contains Motility B Medium poured into a petri dish3 is used to select a motile strain from a population of cells which otherwise appears nonmotile.

Motility B Medium is a semisolid media that is used to demonstrate motility, primarily in nonfermentative, gram negative bacilli. Agar provides a semisolid medium which makes motility interpretations macroscopic.

  • Ready-to-use: Convenience of prepared media.
  • Easy to interpret:
    • Positive test- Diffuse growth extending away from the stab line; cloudiness or turbidity may be observed throughout the medium.
    • Negative test- Growth confined to the stab line.

Motility B Medium contains casein peptone and yeast extract that supply amino acids, peptides and vitamins to promote growth of nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli. Sodium chloride provides essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium.
