Tryptose Cycloserine Dextrose HiVeg™ Agar Base

Tryptose Cycloserine Dextrose HiVeg™ Agar Base is recommended for the isolation of mesophilic spore forming anaerobes in food spoilage. Hiveg medium is used for isolation of mesophilic spore forming anaerobes in food spoilage. It has been effectively used as selective media for the isolation and enumeration of mesophilic anaerobic spore formers from environmental samples collected from cannery plant surveys. Incorporation of D-cycloserine in this medium effectiveley inhibits growth of most Enterococci.
