General description
Hemin is a pro-oxidant, hemolysis derived-product.[1] It is essential for the growth of heme-deficient organisms such as trypanosomatids.[2] Hemin readymade solution is used as a culture-medium supplement for fastidious anaerobic microorganisms, shown to enhance the growth of many anaerobes including Bacteroides species and certain gram-positive non-spore forming organisms.[3] It is present as a key ingredient compound in common anaerobic growth media, such as Brucella broth, Thioglycolate broth and Reinforced Clostridial Medium.
Application
Hemin solution may be used as a supplement in brain heart infusion-yeast extract-hemin (BHI-YH) medium to determine cholesterol-to-coprostanol reducing activity.[4]
Features and Benefits
- Convenient readymade solution to speed up media preparation
- Sterile solution
- Optimal mixture for growth of fastidious bacteria as well as diversified culturing of microbial samples
Other Notes
- For 100 ml of medium preparation, it is recommended to add 1 mL hemin ready-made solution after autoclaving the medium, to achieve a final concentration of 5 microgram/ml. The optimal concentration of the supplement may vary for each strain.
- The solution is classified as light sensitive. 2. The solution should not be heated and must be added aseptically to autoclaved media cooled to 50-55°C. 3.
- Select strains which show turbid growth (24-48 hr.) with Hemin supplementation: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Bifidobacterium longum, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides vulgatus and Fusobacterium nucleatum.
