Principle And Interpretation
Antibiotic HiVeg Assay Medium No. 40 is prepared by incorporating vegetable peptones in place of animal peptones, making the medium BSE TSE risks free. This can be used for the same purpose of Antibiotic HiVeg Medium No. 40, This medium is used as a maintenance medium for test organism Enterococcus hirae ATCC 10541 ( Streptococcus faecium) used for in the assay of Thiostrepton. Equivalent animal based medium is in accordance with USP (1). Essential amino acids, mineral and growth factors are supplied by Peptone, HiVeg hydrolysate 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 organism, good buffering action is maintained by phosphates in the medium. Incorporation of polysorbates reduces the surface tension, maintaining uniform suspension of cells and also can neutralize phenolic compounds in the test sample, if any.
