Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar
Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar is recommended for the selective isolation and enumeration of yeast and molds in food products, environmental, and any other potentially contaminated samples of animal origin.
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.
Papaic digest of soybean meal and glucose assure the growth of yeast and molds.
Rose Bengal inhibits the development of bacteria and prevents the invasion of molds on the Petri dish, by limiting their proliferation. Assimilated by yeasts, it facilitates their enumeration by coloring the colonies pink.
The presence of chloramphenicol, a thermostable antibiotic, allows a reinforcement of the selectivity against the majority of contaminating bacteria.
