Sterilization
121°C / 15 minutes.
Storage
Dry Medium Below 30°C, Prepared Medium 2-8°C.
Directions
Suspend 77.22 grams of MV341 or 57.22 grams of MV233 in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Distribute into tubes or flasks. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation
Actinomyces HiVeg Agar / Broth is prepared by using vegetable based peptones instead of animal based peptones making the medium BSE/TSE risk free. These media are the modifications of Actinomyces Agar/Broth which was formulated as a maintenance medium by Pine and Watson (1). The broth medium was further modified and recommended for growing and maintaining members of the genus Actinomyces (2).
HiVeg infusion, HiVeg hydrolysate, yeast extract, starch, dextrose and L-Cysteine provide carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, vitamins and other growth factors. Metallic salts provides essential electrolytes and minerals.
Gelling
Firm, comparable with 2.0% Agar gel of MV341.
Colour and Clarity
Light amber coloured slightly opalescent gel with a slight precipitate forms in petri plates, clear solution with a slight precipitate in tubes.
Reaction
Reaction of 7.72% w/v aqueous solution of MV341 is pH 6.9 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
Reaction of 5.72% w/v aqueous solution of MV233 is pH 7.2 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
Cultural Response
Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 30°C for 18-48 hours.
