Directions
Suspend 48 grams in 1000 ml distilled water containing 20 ml ethanol. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE. Cool to room temperature and dispense about 2 ml onto sterile absorbent pads. This medium should be used on the same day it is prepared and should be protected from bright light.
Caution: Basic fuchsin is a potential carcinogen and care must be taken to avoid inhalation and contamination of the skin.
Principle and Interpretation
M-Endo HiVeg Broth MF is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones. M-Endo HiVeg Broth MF is the modification of M-Endo Broth MF which is a selective and differential medium for the detection of coliforms by the membrane filter technique (1). Preliminary enrichment on a non-selective medium is not required in case of M-Endo HiVeg Broth MF and this is a medium of choice for the determination of coliform bacteria in water and other specimens. Essential nutrients are supplied by HiVeg hydrolysate No.1, yeast extract, HiVeg special peptone and HiVeg hydrolysate. They provide mainly nitrogenous nutrients. Synthetic detergent No. III inhibits gram-positive bacteria. Coliforms ferment lactose and form pink colonies with metallic sheen on this medium.
