CL HiVeg™ Broth (Chopped Liver HiVeg™ Broth)
Intended Use
Chopped Liver HiVeg Broth is used for the cultivation and enrichment of anaerobic bacteria from food specimen.
Composition
| Ingredients | Grams/Litre |
|---|---|
| HiVeg infusion | 100.0 |
| HiVeg peptone | 10.0 |
| Dipotassium phosphate | 1.0 |
| Starch, soluble | 1.0 |
Final pH (at 25°C) 7.0 ± 0.2
Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 11.2 grams in 100 ml distilled water. Mix thoroughly to wet and allow the mixture to soak for 15 minutes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 20 minutes. Exhaust for 20 minutes in free flowing steam before use.
Principle and Interpretation
This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones by vegetable peptones that are free of BSE/TSE risks. Chopped Liver HiVeg Broth is the modification of Chopped Liver Broth formulated in accordance with APHA (1) for cultivation and enrichment of Clostridium species from foods.
Liquid foods are directly inoculated or solid foods are grinded first and then inoculated into this enrichment medium. One to two grams of solid or 1 to 2 ml of liquid food is added per 15 ml of enrichment broth and incubation is carried out at 26 - 28°C uptil 7 days under anaerobic conditions. If no growth is observed after 7 days the culture medium is further incubated for 10 days to allow delayed germination of spores.
HiVeg infusion and HiVeg peptone provide nitrogenous nutrients that support bacterial growth. Phosphate is incorporated to maintain the pH of the medium whereas soluble starch serve as complex carbon sources.
