Directions
Suspend 20 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes containing inverted Durham's tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 12 lbs pressure (118°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation
Glucose HiVeg Broth is prepared by completely replacing animal based, Casein enzymic hydrolysate with HiVeg hydrolysate and therefore the medium is totally free from BSE/TSE risks. This medium is the modification of Glucose Broth used by Waisbren, Carr and Dunnett for testing the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibiotics by the tube dilution method (1). It can also be used for the study of glucose fermentation when a medium without pH indicator is desired. Fermentation studies can be performed more accurately using pure 0.5% glucose as the source of carbohydrate. This medium contains glucose as the only fermentable carbohydrate and HiVeg hydrolysate which is free of carbohydrate. It provides nitrogenous source and necessary nutrients for the growth of the organisms under test. Sodium chloride helps to maintain the osmotic equilibrium.
Glucose HiVeg Broth therefore supports the growth of many fastidious as well as nonfastidious organisms. It gives rapid growth and hastens the early development of injured cells.
