Ask A Question

DNase Agar is used for the differentiation of microorganisms on the basis of deoxyribonuclease activity and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. In 1956, Weckman and Catlin showed a correlation between increased DNase activity of Staphylococcus aureus and positive coagulase activity. Their research suggested DNase activity could be used to identify potentially pathogenic staphylococci. DiSalvo confirmed their results by obtaining excellent correlation between coagulase and DNase activity of staphylococci isolated from clinical specimens. Jeffries, Holtman, and Guse incorporated DNA in agar to study DNase production by bacteria and fungi. Polymerized DNA precipitates in the presence of 1N HCl, creating an opaque medium. Organisms that degrade DNA produce a clear zone around an inoculum streak. Fusillo and Weiss studied calcium requirements of staphylococci for DNase production, and concluded additional calcium was unnecessary when a complete nutritive medium was used.

EC Medium with MUG - 500 g

£116.03 vat excl.

£139.24 vat Inc.
Availability: Out of stock
EC Medium w/ MUG is used for the fluorogenic detection of Escherichia coli in a laboratory setting. EC Medium w/ MUG is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. EC Medium was developed by Hajna and Perry in an effort to improve the methods for the detection of the coliform group and E. coli. This medium consists of a buffered lactose broth with the addition of 0.15% Bile Salts Mixture. Growth of spore-forming bacteria is inhibited by the bile salts, while growth of E. coli is enhanced by its presence. EC Medium w/ MUG is the same formula as EC Medium, with the addition of 4-methylumbelliferyl-ß-D-glucuronide. Feng and Hartman developed a rapid assay for E. coli by incorporating 4-methylumbelliferyl-ß-D-glucuronide (MUG) into Lauryl Tryptose Broth at a final concentration of 100 ɥg/mL. Moburg determined the amount of MUG could be reduced to a final concentration of 50 ɥg/mL without adversely affecting results. EC Medium w/ MUG is prepared according to the formula specified by US EPA and methods for water and food testing.

APT Agar - 500 g

APT Agar is used for the cultivation of heterofermentative lactobacilli in a laboratory setting. APT Agar is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Evans and Niven investigated the cultivation of heterofermentative lactobacilli, causing the faded or green discoloration of cured meat products. Deibel, Evans, and Niven tested thiamine-requiring bacteria, specifically Lactobacillus viridescens. Their formulations led to the development of APT Agar. Lactic acid bacteria, a group of acid-producing bacteria, include the genera Streptococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, and Lactobacillus. These organisms are widespread in nature, associated with bacterial spoilage of foods including dairy products, meat, and vegetables. APT Agar is used for cultivating heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria from food products.
