Principle and Interpretation

Vibrio HiVeg Agar is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones that makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Vibrio HiVeg Agar is the modification of Vibrio Agar which is a selective medium for the isolation of Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus as well as other Vibrios (1).

HiVeg hydrolysate, HiVeg peptone No.3 and yeast extract provide nitrogenous, carbonaceous compounds, sulphur, vitamin B complex and other essential growth nutrients. Sodium citrate, and synthetic detergents inhibit gram-positive organisms and coliforms. Sucrose is the fermentable carbohydrate while thiosulphate acts as a sulphur source. Alkaline pH of this medium helps in recovery of Vibrio cholerae. China blue and cresol red are pH indicators.

Cultural Response

Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 18 - 24 hours.

Organisms (ATCC) Inoculum (CFU) Growth Recovery Colour of colony
Enterococcus faecalis (29212) 102-103 none-poor <20% yellow
Escherichia coli (25922) 102-103 inhibited 0% -
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (27853) 102-103 none-poor <20% blue
Salmonella serotype Typhi (6539) 102-103 inhibited 0% -
Shigella flexneri (12022) 102-103 inhibited 0% -
Vibrio cholerae (15748) 102-103 good-luxuriant >50% blue
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (17802) 102-103 good-luxuriant >50% slightly reddish

Quality Control

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

Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.5% Agar gel.

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

Reaction: Reaction of 7.48% w/v aqueous solution is pH 8.5 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
