Meat Liver Glucose Agar With 2 G/L Yeast Extract
Meat Liver Glucose Agar with 2 g/L Yeast Extract is used to enumerate mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic bacterial spores in raw materials and in ingredients used in canning as well as surface samples and canning process water.
It can also be used for the enumeration of spores in pasteurized products.
The typical composition of the agar corresponds to that defined in the standard NF V08-602.
Available as:
Ready-to-use medium: 10 vials of 200 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.
Meat-liver peptone assures the growth of most microorganisms, particularly that of anaerobic bacteria.
Glucose and yeast extract are the energy source for growth.
Starch favors spore germination.
Anaerobic bacteria reduce sulfite to sulfide, which in presence of ferric ions causes the blackening of the colonies due to the formation of iron sulfide.
