Thermo Scientific™ Tergitol 7 Agar w/o TTC

Description

• Differentiate and selectively isolate coliform organisms with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Tergitol 7 Agar Monoplate
• The use of tergitol (sodium heptadecyl sulfate) as a selective agent was first proposed by Pollard in 1946 1
• Tergitol 7 Agar was later developed by Chapman for selective isolation and increased recovery of coliform organisms 2,3
• Tergitol-7 inhibits gram-positive organisms and minimizes the swarming of Proteus allowing superior recovery of coliforms
• Tergitol 7 Agar is recommended for the selective isolation and differentiation of the coliform groups
• Microorganisms capable of fermenting lactose produce yellow colonies on Tergritol 7 agar due to reaction of brom thymol blue indicator
• Non-lactose fermenters produce blue to green or purple colonies
• Ready-to-use – Convenience of prepared media
• Selective – Tergitol is a selective agent, which inhibits the growth of the gram-positive organisms and Proteus Easy-to-interpret – Appearance of yellow colonies on the medium by the microorganisms that ferments lactose due to the reaction of the brom thymol indicator
• Tergitol 7 Agar Monoplate contains yeast extract, casein and meat peptone that provide nitrogen, amino acids and peptides necessary for bacterial growth
• Lactose serves as the source of fermentable carbohydrate
• Tergitol 7 acts as the selective agent and brom thymol blue is the pH indicator
