MUG Tryptone Soya Agar is used for cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms by fluorogenic method.
Composition
| Ingredients | Gms / Litre |
|---|---|
| Casein enzymic hydrolysate | 15.000 |
| Papaic digest of soyabean meal | 5.000 |
| Sodium chloride | 5.000 |
| 4-Methylumbelliferyl β-D-Glucuronide (MUG) | 0.100 |
| Agar | 15.000 |
Final pH (at 25°C): 7.3±0.2
Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters
Directions
Suspend 40.1 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.
Principle And Interpretation
MUG Tryptone Soya Agar is used for cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms by fluorogenic method. The medium is rich in nutrients, which makes it suitable for cultivating aerobes as well as anaerobes. Tryptone Soya Agar is used as blood agar base as well as a reference medium when testing selective media to measure the degree of inhibition (1, 2). Tryptone Soya Agar with MUG is same as Tryptone Soya Agar with the addition of MUG, used to detect the organisms based on fluorescence.
Casein enzymic hydrolysate and papaic digest of soyabean meal provide nitrogenous and other growth nutrients. Organisms like Escherichia coli cleave MUG by the enzyme β-glucuronidase to release 4-methylumbelliferone, a fluorogenic end product which produces a visible green-blue fluorescence under long wave UV light.
