Glucose Agar
Details
Glucose Agar is recommended for differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae in urine , water and food samples. I The Enterobacteriaceae are gram- negative chemoautotroph that posses both respiratory and fermentative metabolism. This medium differentiates species on the basis of glucose fermentation. Glucose is the fermentable carbohydrate and Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator.The glucose fermenting microorganisms produce yellow colour (acid) and the non-fermenting ones, blue colour or colourless.
