Mycoplasma HiVeg™ Agar Base (PPLO HiVeg™ Agar Base)
Details
Mycoplasma HiVeg Agar Base (PPLO HiVeg Agar Base) is recommended for isolation and cultivation of Mycoplasma species (Pleuropneumonia-like organisms - PPLO) and study the growth requirements of Mycoplasma. PPLO colonies are round with a dense center and a less dense periphery, resembling a “fried egg” on PPLO Agar. Vacuoles, large bodies characteristic of Mycoplasma species are seen in the periphery. Colonies vary in diameter from 10 to 500 microns (0.01-0.5 mm) and penetrate into the medium. PPLO HiVeg™ Agar Baseis prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks.
