General description
GranuCult® BAT agar contains glucose as a carbon and energy source. Yeast extract is the source of vitamins, particularly the B-group. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate acts as a buffering system. The low pH and the high incubation temperature inhibit the contaminating flora. This medium contains many trace elements, which supply the specific requirements of the Alicyclobacillus spp. agar is the solidifying agent however, the gel strength is weak due to low pH.
