Directions

Suspend 9 grams in 100 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 25°C and store in a cool, dry place preferably below 25°C.

Principle And Interpretation

Sucrose Agar is modification of the medium developed by Boatwright and Kirsop for brewery isolates (1). Leuconostoc are fastidious chemoorganotrophic bacteria. Casein enzymic hydrolysate and yeast extract provides as nitrogen source and other essential nutrients. The phosphates act as buffering system. Leuconostoc spp synthesizes dextran from sucrose.
