Reinforced Clostridial Agar
Reinforced Clostridial Agar is a non-selective medium used for the isolation and enumeration of Clostridia, other anaerobic bacteria and lactobacilli in biological samples, dairy products, and other food products.
Available as 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.
This is a non-selective media and allows the growth of streptococci and lactobacilli as well as most anaerobes.
Nutritive factors are supplied by Tryptone, meat and yeast extracts, glucose and cysteine, the latter also acting as a reducing substance.
Starch favors spore germination.
Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium.
