Kaper's Medium is used for enumeration and identification of Aeromonas hydrophila from food as per APHA. This medium is used for enumeration and identification of Aeromonas hydrophila from foods and shows the following reactions: mannitol and inositol fermentation, ornithine decarboxylation and deamination, motility, indole and H2S production. Usually in tubes containing Kapers Medium inoculated with A.hydrophila, the butts turn yellow due to acid formation and an alkaline band is formed at the top of the medium. Small amount of agar facilitates motility determination. Application: For Laboratory Chemicals, Analytical Purpose, Biochemical Analysis Appearance: Cream to yellow homogeneous free flowing powder Gelling: Semisolid, comparable with 0.3% Agar gel Color and Clarity of prepared medium: Purple colored, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in tubes as butts Reaction: Reaction of 3.79% w/v aqueous solution at 25°C. pH : 6.7±0.2 Cultural Response: M1169: Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 24-48 hours
