Introduction
Usages:
For differentiation of enterobacteriaceae.
Principle:
Peptone, beef extract powder and yeast extract powder provide nitrogen, vitamins, minerals; lactose, dextrose into fermentable sugars, which produce acid when measured by the phenol red indicator, acid yellow, basic red; thiosulfate sodium can be reduced to some bacteria to hydrogen sulfide, to produce a black iron sulfide and iron salts; sodium chloride to maintain osmotic equilibrium; agar as medium coagulant.
