Beschreibung

General description

Decarboxylase broth base, Moeller is a dehydrated culture medium designedfor the differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacteria based on theirability to decarboxylate specific amino acids. The medium follows the Moellerformulation, which contains peptone, beef extract, glucose, pyridoxal (as acofactor), and bromocresol purple as a pH indicator, but no amino acids bydefault; appropriate L‑amino acids (L‑arginine, L‑lysine, or L‑ornithine) are added separately depending on the test required. Wheninoculated and overlaid with mineral oil to ensure anaerobic conditions,decarboxylase-positive organisms produce alkaline amines that raise the pH andshift the indicator from yellow (acidic) back to purple (alkaline), allowingdistinction between decarboxylase-positive and -negative strains.

Application

Verwendet zur Differenzierung von Bakterien aufgrund ihrer Fähigkeit Aminosäuren zu decarboxylieren.

Preparation Note

Suspend 10.52 g of Decarboxylase Broth Base in 1000 ml of distilled water. Add 10 g of either L-Arginine (Cat. No. 11010), or L-Lysine (Cat. No. 62840), or L-Ornithine (Cat. No. 75470). Heat to dissolve the medium completely. When L-ornithine is added, readjust the pH. Dispense in 5 ml quantities in screwcapped tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs. pressure (121°C) for 10 minutes.
