This medium is recommended by the International Union against Tuberculosis for the Diagnosis of Mycobacterial Infections. It is also commonly known as Lowenstein-Jensen Glycerol Medium. This medium has been reported to provide higher proportion of tests positives. The medium supports rapid and luxuriant growth of primary cultures. The addition of glycerol to the medium improves the growth of M.tuberculosis. Application: For Laboratory Chemicals, Analytical Purpose, Biochemical Analysis Appearance: Greenish blue to peacock blue homogeneous free flowing powder Color and Clarity of prepared medium: Basal medium yields bluish green colour,when basal medium (7.3gm in 600ml distilled water) is mixed with 1000ml whole egg emulsion and inspissated, it coagulates to yield pale blue colored opaque smooth slants Reaction: Reaction of aqueous solution (7.3gm in 600ml distilled water) at 25°C. pH : 7.0±0.2 Cultural Response: Cultural characteristics observed in presence of 5-10% Carbon dioxide (CO2) with added whole egg emulsion, after an incubation at 35-37°C for 2-4 weeks
