Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Hemin is a pro-oxidant, hemolysis derived-product. It is essential for the growth of heme-deficient organisms such as trypanosomatids. Hemin readymade solution is used as a culture-medium supplement for fastidious anaerobic microorganisms, shown to enhance the growth of many anaerobes including Bacteroides species and certain gram-positive non-spore forming organisms. It is present as a key ingredient compound in common anaerobic growth media, such as Brucella broth, Thioglycolate broth and Reinforced Clostridial Medium.

Anwendung

Hemin solution may be used as a supplement in brain heart infusion-yeast extract-hemin (BHI-YH) medium to determine cholesterol-to-coprostanol reducing activity.
