Brilliant Green HiVeg™ Broth, 2%
Intended Use
Brilliant Green HiVeg Broth 2% is recommended for the detection and confirmation of coliform bacteria in water, waste water, foods, milk and dairy products.
Composition
| Ingredients | Grams/Litre |
|---|---|
| HiVeg peptone | 25.0 |
| Lactose | 10.0 |
| Synthetic detergent No. II | 5.0 |
| Brilliant green | 0.0133 |
Final pH (at 25°C) 7.2 ± 0.2
** Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 40 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to boiling to ensure complete solution. Mix well. Distribute in fermentation tubes containing inverted Durham's tubes and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation
Brilliant Green HiVeg Broth 2% is specially developed using HiVeg peptone to avoid BSE/TSE risks associated with animal origin peptone. This medium is the modification of Brilliant Green Bile Broth 2% which is used for presumptive identification and confirmation of coliform bacteria (1,2). Brilliant green and synthetic detergent No. Il present in the medium inhibits gram-positive bacteria. Production of gas from lactose fermentation detected by incorporating inverted Durham's tube, indicates a positive evidence of faecal coliforms since nonfaecal coliforms growing in this medium do not produce gas. During examination of water samples, growth from presumptive positive tubes showing gas in Lactose HiVeg Broth (MV026) or Lauryl Tryptose HiVeg Broth (MV080) is inoculated in Brilliant Green HiVeg Broth 2% wherein gas formation within 48 ± 2 hours confirms the presumptive test.
