For detection of Escherichia coli and coliforms in water and food samples.


A selective medium recommended for the simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli and total coliforms in water and food samples. The chromogenic mixture contains two chromogenic substrates. The enzyme ß-D-galactosidase produced by coliforms cleaves one of the Chromogenic to form salmon to red coloured colonies . The enzyme ß-D-glucuronidase produced by Escherichia coli, cleaves X-glucuronide, the other chromogen. Colonies of Escherichia coli gives dark blue to violet coloured colonies due to cleavage of both the chromogens. SLS inhibits gram positive organisms.
