Directions

Suspend 40.13 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle and Interpretation

Standard Methods Caseinate HiVeg Agar is prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate which is free of BSE/TSE risks. This medium is the modification of Standard Methods Caseinate Agar which is prepared as per the formula described by Martley et al (1) and is recommended by APHA (2).

Veg protein is the major protein source for the proteolytic organisms. HiVeg hydrolysate and yeast extract provide nitrogenous nutrients to the growing proteolytic organisms. Dextrose is the carbohydrate source.

Proteolytic organisms form white or off white precipitate around the colony. Organisms which are strongly proteolytic can breakdown the precipitate formed around the colonies to soluble components with the formation of an inner transparent zone. For the enumeration of proteolytic psychrotropic bacteria, inoculated plates should be incubated for 10 days at 7°C.
