Isolation Medium for Iron Bacteria, 5KG

Isolation Medium for Iron Bacteria is recommended for the isolation of iron bacteria, especially those belonging to Sphaerotilus - Leptothrix group. Magnesium sulphate, ammonium sulphate, potassium chloride and calcium nitrate are sources of ions that stimulate metabolism. Glucose acts as the carbon source. Dipotassium phosphate buffers the medium. agar slants of the media are prepared and test water sample added on to surface of slants. On incubation, growth is observed as turbidity in the liquid layer. Application: For Laboratory Chemicals, Analytical Purpose, Biochemical Analysis Appearance: Cream to beige homogeneous free flowing powder Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.0% Agar gel Color and Clarity of prepared medium: Medium yellow colored, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in tubes as slants Cultural Response: Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 22-25°C upto 5 days
