Directions
Suspend 16.1 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Distribute into tubes with inverted Durhams tube. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Aseptically add 20 ml separately sterilized carbohydrate solution to give a final concentration of 0.5%. Mix well and dispense in sterile test tubes.
Principle and Interpretation
This medium is prepared by using HiVeg peptone No.3 and HiVeg extract in place of Proteose peptone and Beef extract respectively, which is free of BSE/TSE risks. Carbohydrate Consumption HiVeg Broth Base is the veg modification of Carbohydrate Consumption Broth Base employed for the cultivation and differentiation of Listeria species(1). Differentiation is based on fermentation of glucose, xylose, rhamnose, ribose, a -Methyl-D-mannoside and mannitol. HiVeg peptone and HiVeg extract provide carbon and nitrogen compounds including essential amino acids, vitamins and trace ingredients for bacterial metabolism.
On consumption of carbohydrate, medium turns acidic indicated by colour change of medium from purple to yellow. Bromo cresol purple is the pH indicator, which indicates acid production by turning yellow.
