Directions
Suspend 18 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes containing inverted Durham's tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 10 minutes. Cool and aseptically add sterile desired carbohydrate to a final concentration of 0.5 - 1.0%
Principle and Interpretation
This medium is prepared by replacing Peptic digest of animal tissue with HiVeg peptone and Beef extract with HiVeg extract which are free from BSE/TSE risks. Bromo Cresol Purple HiVeg Broth Base is modification of the medium as recommended by APHA for studying fermentation reactions of members of Enterobacteriaceae (1). HiVeg peptone, HiVeg extract provide essential growth nutrients for bacterial metabolism. Bromo cresol purple acts as pH indicator which turns yellow in acidic condition. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium.
Quality Control
Appearance of powder
Light yellow coloured, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
Colour and Clarity
Purple coloured, clear solution without any precipitate.
Reaction
Reaction of 1.8% w/v aqueous solution is pH 7.0 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
Cultural Response
Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35 - 37°C for 18 - 24 hours with addition of dextrose.
| Organisms (ATCC) | Growth | Acid* | Gas* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterobacter aerogenes (13048) | luxuriant | + | + |
| Escherichia coli (25922) | luxuriant | + | + |
| Klebsiella pneumoniae (13883) | luxuriant | + | + |
| Salmonella serotype Typhimurium (14028) | luxuriant | + | + |
| Shigella flexneri (12022) | luxuriant | + | - |
Key :
- * = with added dextrose
- Acid + = positive, yellow colouration
- Acid - = negative, no change in colour
- Gas + = positive, gas formation
- Gas - = negative, no gas formation
