Principle and Interpretation

This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones which are free from BSE/TSE risks. Coliform HiVeg Broth is the modification of Coliform Broth which is recommended for isolation and cultivation of coliforms from cream, yogurt and raw milk (1) HiVeg peptone No. 3, HiVeg peptone and yeast extract provides nitrogeneous carbonaceous compounds and vitamin B complex for the growth of coliform. Lactose is the fermentable carbohydrate. Bromocreso purple is the pH indicator. Coliforms ferment lactose and produce acid and gas, which is indicated by change in colour of medium to yellow. Synthetic detergents inhibit gram positive bacteria. Sodium lauryl sulphate is inhibitory to many organisms but not to coliforms.

Quality Control

Appearance of powder: Yellow coloured, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder.

Colour and Clarity: Purple coloured, clear solution without any precipitate.

Reaction: Reaction of 5.71% w/v aqueous solution is pH 7.0 ± 0.2 at 25°C.

Cultural Response

Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35 - 37°C for 18 - 48 hours.
