acumedia* m-FC Broth

Intended Use: m-FC Broth is used with rosolic acid for the detection and enumeration of fecal coliforms by membrane filtration.
• Product Summary and Explanation: Geldreich et al. formulated a medium to enumerate fecal coliforms (FC) using the membrane filter (m) technique without prior enrichment.1 Fecal coliforms, i.e., those found in feces of warm-blooded animals, are differentiated from environmental coliforms their ability to grow at 44.5 +/- 0.5°C.
Many standard method membrane filtration procedures recommend m-FC media for testing water. The American Public Health Association (APHA) specified m-FC media and incubation at 44.5 +/- 0.5°C in several procedures. The US Environmental Protection Agency specified using m-FC media in fecal coliform methods for testing water by the direct MF method or the delayed-incubation MF methods.
