GVS Life Sciences* M-Endo Coliform Broth

Ready-to-use media considerably reduce the preparation time in quality control laboratories and also effectively reduce the risks of cross contamination.
M-Endo Coliform Broth is a red colored media, which needs to be stored in the dark to prevent discoloration. Gram-positive bacteria are inhibited on this media by the desoxycholate and lauryl sulfate. The addition of ethanol increases the antibacterial nature of the formulation. Lactose fermenting organisms form aldehydes, which react with Schiffs reagent (basic fuchsin and sodium sulfite) to give red colored zones around the colonies. Coliform colonies are therefore red with a characteristic metallic sheen.
