"Science Take-Out"

(For creating “microaquana” for observation of protists)

Jump to the electrophoresis step quicker - let us prepare your gel for you.

A medium helpful in differentiation of the enterobacteriaceae. Simmons citrate agar test for organisms that are able to utilize citrate as a carbon source.

To assist in the differentiation of enteric organisms the medium provides three tests - indole production, production of hydrogen sulfide by organisms that can reduce sulfur, and motility.

To prepare media, add 20 g of phenol red dextrose broth to a liter of distilled or de-ionized water. The media will not be sterile until autoclaved prior to use.

A basal medium containing a single carbohydrate used to determine whether bacteria can ferment the specific carbohydrate. The medium contains a pH indicator that changes from red to yellow if the bacteria can ferment the carbohydrate.

Used to determine if bacteria produce extracellular enzymes to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch. Organisms that produce a starch hydrolyzing enzyme will display a clear zone around the area of growth while other areas of the agar containing starch will turn blue-black.

For cultivation of halophilic bacilli.

This convenient, one-step media starts as a liquid and gels when poured into the provided petri dishes.
