Desoxycholate Lactose Agar
BK065HA
CAD$123.65
Desoxycholate Lactose Agar is a selective medium for the enumeration of coliform bacteria in water, milk, dairy and other food products. The medium is also used for the differentiation and isolation of enterobacteria from samples of animal origin.
Dehydrated medium: 500 g bottle
In compliance with regulatory requirements, a USDA permit (VS 16-3) is mandatory for shipments from Canada to the USA due to the inclusion of peptone, an animal byproduct.
Gram-positive bacteria are inhibited by desoxycholate, although sodium citrate is also an effective inhibitor.
The differentiation of enterobacteria is based on their capacity to ferment lactose :
- Lactose-positive strains produce acid which leads to the formation of red colonies in the presence of neutral red.
- Lactose-negative bacteria yield colorless colonies (Salmonella or Shigella)
