General description
GranuCult® prime Brilliant-green bile Lactose broth contains brilliant green and bile as the inhibitory agents for Gram-positive organisms. Lactose is a carbon source, which is dissimilated rapidly by the coli-aerogenes group, mostly by the heterofermentative pathway, leading to gas formation. It is a widespread practice to perform preliminary MPN tests using a less selective medium such as Lauryl Sulfate broth (1.10266) acc. ISO 4831 and FDA‑BAM and confirm any tube showing a positive reaction by subculture to BRILA broth. The medium is also used for confirmation after pour plating with Violet Red Bile Lactose agar acc. ISO 4832 and FDA‑BAM.
Application
GranuCult® prime BRILA (Brilliant-green bile Lactose) broth is suitable for the selective enrichment, enumeration, and confirmation of Escherichia coli and other fecal coliform organisms from food and animal feed, water, and other materials.
