HCM083 MacConkey Broth

Introduction

Intended Use

For the selective isolation and culture of Listeria monocytogenes.

Principle and Interpretation

Peptone provides the carbon and nitrogen sources necessary for growth; yeast extract powder and starch provide carbon and nitrogen sources, vitamins and growth factors; sodium chloride can maintain a balanced osmotic pressure; glucose provides a carbon source; Listeria hydrolyzes esculin and reacts with iron ions to form black 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin; mannitol is a fermentable sugar, and phenol red is a pH indicator; lithium chloride and other antibiotics can inhibit Gram-negative bacteria and most Gram-positive bacteria; agar is the coagulant of the culture medium.

Formulation

Preparation

Weigh 68.9g of dry powder of this product, add 1L of distilled water or deionized water, stir, heat and boil until completely dissolved, divide into Erlenmeyer bottles, sterilize at 121℃ for 15min, cool to room temperature and set aside. Heat to dissolve agar before use, cool to 50℃, add 1 tube of supporting reagent (SR0140) per 100mL of basal culture medium, shake well and pour into sterilized culture dish.

Quality Control

The following quality control strains were inoculated and cultured at 35-37℃ for 24h. The results are as follows:

Storage and Shelf Life

2-30℃，Keep container tightly closed, avoid direct sunlight.

Use before expiry date on the label.

 Precautions

1. When weighing the dehydrated medium, please wear masks to avoid causing respiratory system discomfort

2. Keep container tightly closed after using to prevent clumping.

Waste Disposal

Microbiological contamination was disposed by autoclaving at 121°C for 30 minutes.

Introduction

Usages:
For isolating lactose-fermenting Gram-negative enteric bacilli.

Principle:
Peptones are sources of nitrogen and other nutrients. Lactose is a fermentable carbohydrate. When lactose is fermented, alocal pH drop around the colony causes a color change in the pH indicator (neutral red) and bile precipitation. Bile salts,bile salts no. 3, oxgall and crystal violet are selective agents that inhibit growth of gram-positive organisms. Agar is the solidifying agent.

Formulation（per liter）:

How to use：
1.Suspend 50 g in 1 L of distilled or deionized water. Heat to boiling to dissolve completely. Autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes.

2.Transfer 1 mL of Soybean–Casein Digest Broth to 100 mL of MacConkey Broth, and incubate at 42 to 44 for 24 to 48 hours. Subculture on a plate of MacConkey Agar at 30 to 35 deg.C for 18 to 72 hours.

Quality control：
          　　

Storage: Keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, dry place, away from bright light. Storage period of three years.
