Principle and Interpretation

Modified Rogosa HiVeg Agar is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones, which makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. M16 HiVeg Agar is a modification of Rogosa Sodium Lactate Agar recommended by APHA (1) which was developed to support growth of lactic Streptococci used in cheddar cheese manufacturing in New Zealand (2). The samples to be tested are processed to enumerate bacteria by pour plate technique. Papaic digest of soyabean meal, HiVeg hydrolysate No. 1 and HiVeg extract provide the essential nutrients like amino acids, minerals etc. Yeast extract supplies vitamin B complex to the lactic Streptococci. Dextrose is a fermentable carbohydrate. Sodium acetate inhibits other contaminating bacteria and suppresses swarming growth. Ascorbic acid provides vitamin C to the organisms.

Quality Control

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

Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.0% Agar gel.

Colour and Clarity: Light amber coloured, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in petri plates.

Reaction: Reaction of 3.6% w/v aqueous solution is pH 7.2 ± 0.2 at 25°C.

Cultural Response

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

Organisms (ATCC) Inoculum (CFU) Growth Recovery
