Principle and Interpretation

This medium is prepared by using HiVeg peptone in place of Peptic digest of animal tissue which makes the medium BSE/TSE free. Yeast Extract HiVeg Agar is the modification of Yeast Extract Agar which is formulated according to the formula described by Windle Taylor (1) for the plate count of microorganisms in water.

Yeast extract and HiVeg peptone provide nitrogenous compounds, vitamin B complex and other growth nutrients. Organisms forming visible colonies after 24 hrs at 35°C are enumerated seperately from those forming visible colonies after 3 days at 20-22°C. (2)
