Descripción

Aplicación

ECC ChromoSelect Selective Agar is a selective medium recommended for the simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli and coliforms in water and food samples. The ingredients help even the sublethally injured coliforms to grow rapidly, Tergitol^™ inhibits Gram-positive as well as some Gram-negative bacteria other than coliforms. The chromogenic mixture contains two chromogenic substrates as Salmon-GAL and X-glucuronide. The enzyme β-D-galactosidase produced by coliforms cleaves Salmon-GAL, resulting in the salmon-to-red coloration of coliform colonies. The enzyme β-D-glucuronidase produced by E. coli, cleaves X-glucuronide. E. coli forms dark blue-to-violet colored colonies due to cleavage of both Salmon-GAL and X-glucuronide. The addition of tryptophan improves the indole reaction. To confirm E. coli, add a drop of Kovac′s reagent (Catalog No. 60983) on the dark blue-to-violet colony. Formation of cherry-red color indicates the positive reaction.

Nota de preparación

Suspend 26.5 g in 1 litre distilled water. Heat in a boiling water bath or in a free flowing steam, with stirring to dissolve the medium completely (approximately 35 minutes). Medium may show haziness, but it does not affect the performance. If desired to inhibit Pseudomonas and Aeromonas species add 5 mg Cefsulodin (Cat. No. 22126) for surface and pour plate method and 10 mg Cefsulodin for membrane filter technique. Mix well.
