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.

QUANTITY

Pancreatic digest of gelatin and Tryptone are the nutrient substrates required for the rapid multiplication of Pseudomonas.
The production of pyocyanin (a blue, non-fluorescent pigment, soluble in water and in chloroform) is stimulated by magnesium chloride and potassium sulfate.

The concentration of cephalotin (an antibiotic of the cephalosporine family) allows the inhibition of a major contaminating flora, in particular the enterobacters, staphylococci and streptococci).

Fucidin inhibits the development of Acinetobacter / Moraxella without affecting the growth of Pseudomonas. Contaminating yeasts are inhibited by cetrimide & quaternary ammonium salts.
