Directions

Suspend 47.1 grams in 1000 ml purified/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

This medium is formulated in accordance to USP (1).This medium is used as maintenance medium for test organism Enterococcus hirae ATCC 10541 used for assay of Thiostrepton. Essential amino acids, mineral and growth factors are supplied by polypeptone and yeast extract in this medium. Dextrose functions as carbon and energy source for enhancing the growth of test organism. During maintenance of the test organims, good buffering action is provided by phosphates in the medium. Incorporation of polysorbates reduces the surface tension, maintaining uniform suspension of cells and can also neutralize phenolic compounds in the test sample, if any.
