Nutrient Agar (2,5 %)
Nutrient Agar (2.5%) is used primarily in water microbiology for the culture of microorganisms in the context of purification steps required in certain specific standard or protocols of detection and/or enumeration. Use of this media leads to well isolated colonies.
The typical composition of this media responds to that defined in the standards NF EN 14569, NF EN ISO 11731 and NF EN ISO 16266.
Available as ready-to-use medium: 50 tubes of 18 ml.
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.
Relatively simple, the formula supplies the nutritive elements required for the growth of a wide variety of non- fastidious microorganisms.
The media is lacking cysteine, which leads to the absence of growth of Legionella on this medium, and helps in orienting the identification
