Himedia Decarboxylase Broth Base, Moeller (Moeller Decarboxylase Broth Base)

Decarboxylase Broth Base, Moeller(Moeller Decarboxylase Broth Base)is recommended to differentiate bacteria on the basis of their ability to decarboxylate the amino acids. Amino acids such as L-Lysine, L-Arginine, L-Ornithine or other L-amino acids are added to this medium to study respective decarboxylation study. Production of ornithine decarboxylase is a helpful criterion in differentiating Klebsiella and Enterobacter species. Klebsiella are non-motile and do not produce ornithine decarboxylase while Enterobacter are motile and produce ornithine decarboxylase except Enterobacter agglomerans.
