Sucrose HiVeg™ Agar for Brewery Isolates
Intended Use
Sucrose HiVeg Agar is recommended for isolation of dextran producing Leuconostoc species.
Composition
| Ingredients | Grams/Litre |
|---|---|
| HiVeg hydrolysate | 10.0 |
| Yeast extract | 5.0 |
| Dipotassium phosphate | 5.0 |
| Triammonium phosphate | 5.0 |
| Sucrose | 50.0 |
| Agar | 15.0 |
** Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 90.00 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 25°C and store in a cool, dry place preferably below 25°C.
Principle and Interpretation
Sucrose HiVeg Agar is prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate in place of Casein enzymic hydrolysate making the medium free from BSE/TSE risks. Sucrose HiVeg Agar is modification of the medium developed by Boatwright and Kirsop for brewery isolates(1). Leuconostoc are fastidious chemo-organotrophic bacteria. HiVeg hydrolysate and yeast extract seves as nitrogen source and other essential nutrients. The phosphates act as buffering system. Leuconostoc species synthesizes dextran from sucrose.
Quality Control
Appearance of powder
Light yellow coloured, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
