Recommended used as a suspending medium for Mycobacterium smegmatis, which is used as a test organism in the microbiological assay of Bleomycin in accordance with USP.
Composition
| Ingredients | g/L |
|---|---|
| Peptone | 10.000 |
| HM peptone B # | 10.000 |
| Sodium chloride | 3.000 |
| pH after sterilization | 7.0±0.1 |

Directions
Suspend 23.0 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water containing 10 grams glycerol. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in sterile tubes or flasks or as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
This medium is formulated in accordance with USP and CFR (1,2).This medium is generally employed to prepare Mycobacterium smegmatis suspension required for assaying anti-neoplastic agent like Bleomycin.
This medium provides optimal conditions to maintain the viability of the test organism Mycobacterium smegmatis. Peptone and HM peptone B in the medium provides nutrients essential for growth, while addition of glycerol provides slow and continuous supply of carbon and energy source. The osmotic equilibrium for integrity of cell and its viability is maintained in presence of sodium chloride present in this medium.
