Reinforced Clostridial Medium
Reinforced Clostridial Medium is a non-selective medium used for the growth and enumeration of spores of total gas producing Clostridia in dairy products, canned foods, semi-preserved foods and other food products. It is also used for the detection of Clostridia in the microbiological examination of non-sterile products according to US and European Pharmacopeia.
The typical composition of the broth corresponds to the formula described in the European and US Pharmacopeia
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.
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.
The medium is non-selective. It allows the culture of lactobacilli as well as the majority of other anaerobic bacteria
