Leírás

Általános leírás

GranuCult^® prime Reinforced clostridial medium (RCM) be used to initiate growth from small inoculum and to obtain the highest viable count of Clostridia. It can be used as the conventional medium for studies of spore-forming anaerobes, especially Clostridium butyricum in cheese, and for the enumeration and isolation of Clostridia. Other spore-forming anaerobes like streptococci and lactobacilli grow as well on this media. Casein hydrolysate, beef extract, yeast extract, and peptone provide nitrogen, vitamins, amino acids, and carbon for growth. Dextrose is a fermentable sugar, and sodium chloride ensures osmotic balance. The medium is free from inhibitors and contains cysteine as a reducing agent. Sodium acetate is the buffering agent. Polymyxin B can be added to inhibit Gram-negative bacteria and to make the medium more selective. Culture conditions include incubation at 35-37°C for 40-48 hours in an anaerobic atmosphere.

Alkalmazás

GranuCult^® prime Reinforced clostridial medium (RCM) is suitable for the cultivation and enumeration of clostridia, other anaerobes, and facultative microorganisms in foodstuffs and other materials.
