Composition
| Ingredients | Gms / Litre |
|---|---|
| Peptic digest of animal tissue | 10.000 |
| Sodium chloride | 5.000 |
| Final pH (at 25°C) | 8.2±0.2 |
Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters
Directions
Suspend 15 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
Alkaline Peptone Water is recommended by APHA (1) for enrichment of Vibrio species from sea foods and infectious materials and other clinical specimens such as faeces (2). Present formulation is prepared as recommended by BIS for isolation, identification and enumeration of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus (3).A slight modification is recently approved by ISO Committee (4) for detection of Vibrio species.
Add 25 gms of food sample to 200 ml of Alkaline peptone water and incubate for upto 18-20 hours at 37°C. Prolonged incubation will cause the suppressed contaminating organisms to develop (5).
