Descripción

Descripción general

GranuCult^® plus Kanamycin esculin azide agar is a highly selective media for D-streptococci. Kanamycin and azide inhibit the accompanying bacterial flora. D-streptococci are, however, only slightly sensitive to these substances, so they grow normally and hydrolyze the glucoside esculin to give glucose and esculetin. Esculetin forms an olive-green to-black complex with iron (III) ions.

Aplicación

GranuCult^® plus Kanamycin esculin azide agar is suitable for the isolation, differentiation, and enumeration of enterococci in foodstuffs, water, and other materials.
