GranuCult^® Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar

产品说明

一般描述

GranuCult^® Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar is designed for the isolation and differentiation of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae, especially of Shigella and Salmonella species. Degradation of xylose, lactose, and sucrose to acid causes phenol red to change its color to yellow. Production of hydrogen sulfide is indicated by thiosulfate and iron (III) salt, which react to form a precipitate of black iron sulfide in the colonies. Bacteria that decarboxylate lysine to cadaverine can be recognized by the appearance of a purple coloration around the colonies due to an increase in pH. These reactions can proceed simultaneously or successively, causing the pH indicator to exhibit various shades of color, or it may change its color from yellow to red on prolonged incubation. The culture medium is moderately selective, thus the growth of unwanted organisms is suppressed, while sought bacteria can be tentatively grouped by reading the net effect of carbohydrate dissimilation, lysine decarboxylation, and the formation of hydrogen sulfide leading to black colonies. Agar is the solidifying agent.

应用

GranuCult^® Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar is suitable for the isolation and differentiation of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae, especially of Shigella and Salmonella species from food and animal feed, water, and other materials.
