Directions
Suspend 46.03 grams in 900 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 55°C. Aseptically add sterile Polymyxin B Sulphate (FD003) solution to a final concentration of 100 units per ml and 100 ml sterile Egg Yolk Emulsion (FD045) per 1000 ml medium. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.
Principle And Interpretation
Mannitol Yolk Polymyxin (MYP) Agar was formulated by Mossel et al (1) and is recommended by APHA (2) for enumeration of Bacillus cereus When present in large numbers in certain foodstuffs, Bacillus cereus can produce metabolites responsible for the clinical symptoms of food poisoning (3). MYP Agar Base is recommended by BIS for isolation and enumeration of Bacillus cereus. (4).
The medium contains peptic digest of animal tissue and meat extract which provide nitrogen source. Mannitol fermentation can be detected with the phenol red, which yields yellow colour to the mannitol fermenting colonies. Added egg yolk emulsion helps in differentiation of lecithinase producing colonies which are surrounded by a zone of white precipitate. Addition of Polymyxin B Sulphate helps to restrict growth of gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These differentiating media allow differentiation of Bacillus cereus from other Bacillus species by its inability to ferment mannitol and poor sporulation. Acid produced by organisms other than Bacillus cereus often diffuse through the medium, making it difficult to distinguish between mannitol fermenters and nonfermenters. So it is advised to transfer the suspected colonies to a fresh medium to ascertain the true reaction.
Colonies from MYP Agar are subcultured on Nutrient Agar and incubated at 30°C for 24 hours to observe/determine vegetative cells, sporangium and spore morphology and lipid globules within vegetative cell.
