MIO HiVeg™ Medium (Motility Indole Ornithine HiVeg™ Medium)
Intended Use
Motility Indole Ornithine HiVeg Medium (MIO HIVeg Medium) is used for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae on the basis of motility, indole production and ornithine decarboxylase activity. It is recommended for identification of Enterobacteriaceae on the basis of motility, indole production and ornithine decarboxylase activity.

Principle and Interpretation
MIO HiVeg Medium is prepared by using vegetable peptones which are free of BSE/TSE risks. MIO HiVeg Medium is the modification of MIO Medium which was formulated by Ederer and Clark (1) and Oberhofer and Hajkowski (2) for detection of motility, indole and ornithine decarboxylation in single culture tube.
HiVeg hydrolysate and HiVeg peptone provide amino acids and other nitrogenous substances. Yeast extract is the source of vitamin B complex. Dextrose is the fermentable carbohydrate. Cultures are stab-inoculated.
Motility and Ornithine decarboxylation reactions are read before testing indole production. Motile organisms show either diffused growth or turbidity extending away from stab inoculation line while non-motile organisms grow along the stab-line. Organisms ferment dextrose to form acid which causes the pH indicator bromo cresol purple to change from purple to yellow. Organisms possessing ornithine decarboxylase, decarboxylates ornithine to putrescine which increases the pH making it alkaline, indicated by colour change from yellow to purple throughout the medium. Decarboxylase negative reaction is indicated by yellow colour or yellow with a purple band near the top of the medium. Indole is produced from tryptophan present in HiVeg hydrolysate. The indole produced combines with the aldehyde present in the Kovac's reagent to form a red complex.
Quality Control
Appearance of powder
Light yellow coloured, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
Gelling
Semisolid, comparable with 0.2% Agar gel.
Colour and Clarity
Purple coloured, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in tubes as butts.
Reaction
Reaction of 3.1% w/v aqueous solution is pH 6.5 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
Cultural Response
Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35 - 37°C for 40 - 48 hours.
| Organisms (ATCC) | Inoculum | Growth (CFU) | Motility | Indole | Ornithine** |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enterobacter aerogenes (13048) | 102-103 | luxuriant | + | - | + |
| Escherichia coli (25922) | 102-103 | luxuriant | + | + | + |
| Klebsiella pneumoniae (13883) | 102-103 | luxuriant | - | - | - |
| Proteus mirabilis (25933)* | 102-103 | luxuriant | + | - | + |
Key :
- + = positive reaction
- - = negative reaction
- * = motility of Proteus mirabilis is temperature dependent. It is more pronounced at 20-22°C and almost absent at 35-37°C.
- ** = Decarboxylation
