Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 25.0 grams of Part A in 990 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Add 10 ml of Part B. Mix well and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation

This medium is the modification of Polysorbate 80 Agar which is recommended for the cultivation of variety of microorganisms. It is a nutritional medium containing neutralizing agent. The medium contains HiVeg peptone which provide the necessary nutrients for the growth of the organisms. Polysorbate 80 provides fatty acids for the metabolism of the organisms and neutralizes phenolic disinfectants, hexachlorophene and formalin (1).
