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
