Himedia Lauryl Sulphate HiCynth Broth (Lauryl Tryptose HiCynth Broth)

Coliforms are considered to be members of Enterobacteriaceae, which grow in the presence of bile salts and produce acid and gas from lactose within 48 hours at 37°C. These bacteria can also be defined as, members of Enterobacteriaceae capable of growing at 37°C, that normally possess β-galactosidase. Lauryl Sulphate Broth is used for the detection of coliforms in water, dairy products and other foods, as recommended by APHA. It can also be used for the presumptive detection of coliforms in water, effluent or sewage by the MPN test
