Directions
Suspend 40.61 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
Glucose Yeast Extract Acetate Broth is prepared by slight modification of the formula described by Evans and Niven (1) and Rogosa et al (2) and is used for enumerating Lactobacilli in pharmaceutical preparations.
It contains a variety of salts like sulphates, phosphates to support the growth of Lactobacilli. Necessary nitrogenous nutrients for Lactobacilli are provided by peptone and yeast extract. Glucose is the source of fermentable carbohydrate. The metallic salts are sources of ions essential for the replication of lactic acid bacteria. Sodium acetate inhibits Streptococci, moulds and many other organisms.
Type of specimen
Food and dairy samples; Pharmaceutical samples
Specimen Collection and Handling
For food and dairy samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection and processing as per guidelines (3,4, 5). After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/ face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium.
- Further serological and biochemical testing is required for complete identigication.
Performance and Evaluation

Storage and Shelf Life
Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 15-30°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to prevent lump formation due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.
Disposal
User must ensure safe disposal by autoclaving and/or incineration of used or unusable preparations of this product. Follow established laboratory procedures in disposing of infectious materials and material that comes into contact with sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (6,7).
