Agar Test pH 6 is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the detection of antimicrobial inhibitors in meat and organ samples. It is used in conjunction with Bacillus subtilis (BGA) spore suspension and Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341 as test organisms. The medium is formulated to provide optimal conditions for microbial growth and inhibitor detection.
Application
Agar Test pH 6 is used for detecting inhibitors in meat and organ samples. The medium is used to ensure the safety and quality of meat products by identifying antimicrobial residues.
Preparation Note
Suspend 25 g/litre Test Agar pH 6.0, autoclave (15 min at 121°C), test the pH and if necessary adjust. Cool to 50-45 °C, mix in 1mL/litre Bacillus subtilis (BGA) spore suspension. After mixing the spore suspension, immediately pour the plates and place in the refrigerator.
