Principle And Interpretation
Saccharose Broth is used in studying fermentation reaction in colon bacteria (1). Casein enzymic hydrolysate and papaic digest of soyabean meal provide essential nutrients for bacterial metabolism. Saccharose provides the fermentable carbohydrate source for the bacteria. Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium.
