Suspend 50 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

This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones which is free from BSE/TSE risks. Dextrose HiVeg Peptone Agar is the modification of Dextrose Peptone Media formulated as per suggestion by Williams (1) for the cultivation of microorganisms, which are fastidious, or present in small numbers, and also for the enumeration of the thermophilic bacteria responsible for flat sour spoilage of canned food. The conventional medium is also recommended by AOAC for the routine cultivation purpose (2).

HiVeg peptone supplies amino acids, peptides etc. for the growth of the organisms. Dextrose is the readily available energy source for the most of the organisms. The agar medium is also used as an excellent basal agar for the Blood Agar preparation. In the special petri plates it can support good growth of the anaerobic microorganisms.
