Intended Use
Sulphite HiVeg Agar is used for detection of thermophilic sulphide producing anaerobic microorganisms.
Composition
| Ingredients | Grams/Litre |
|---|---|
| HiVeg hydrolysate | 10.0 |
| Sodium sulphite | 1.0 |
| Agar | 20.0 |
Final pH (at 25°C) 7.6 ± 0.2
** Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 31 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in screw capped tubes containing a clean iron nail in 15 ml amounts and cap the tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. As an alternate to iron nail, 10 ml of 5% ferric citrate solution may be used per litre of the medium.
Principle and Interpretation
Sulphite HiVeg Agar is developed by using HiVeg hydrolysate which is free from BSE/TSE risks associated with animal based peptones. Sulphite HiVeg Agar is the modification of Sulphite Agar which is prepared according to the formula described by Clark and Tanner (1) and is recommended by APHA (2) for detecting the thermophilic hydrogen sulphide producing anaerobic microorganisms. HiVeg hydrolysate provides nitrogenous compounds. Sodium sulphite is reduced and thus contribute in H₂S production by the thermophilic anaerobic bacteria. Agar acts as solidifying agent. Iron nails or feric citrate combines with dissolved oxygen in the medium and provides anaerobic conditions. Incubation at high temperature (55°C) favours growth of thermophilic organisms. Sulphite reduction is indicated by blackening of medium.
