acumedia* Motility Test Agar

• Intended Use: Motility Test Agar is used for the differentiation of microorganisms on the basis of motility.
• Product Summary and Explanation:
Bacterial motility is observed macroscopically by a diffuse zone of growth spreading from the line of inoculation. Certain species of motile bacteria will show diffuse growth throughout the entire medium, while others may show diffusion from one or two points appearing as nodular outgrowths along the stab. Tittsler and Sandholzer reported tubes incubated for one day gave identical results with the hanging drop method, and incubation for two days permitted demonstration of motility in an additional 4% of cultures tested.
Motility Test Agar is recommended for detection of microbial motility in food and dairy standard methods.
