Description
7070 – SGL supplies Brilliant Green Agar (Modified) in ready-to-use 90 mm plates for routine microbiological testing. The medium is suitable for use in pharmaceutical microbiology and the food, beverage, animal-feed and cosmetics industries.
SGL manufactures and quality-controls the product to its internal specifications and in compliance with ISO 9001 (reference FM37824). At the customer’s request, the laboratory can perform additional specification testing.
Brilliant Green Agar (Modified) selectively isolates and helps identify Salmonella species, excluding Salmonella Typhi, in food, animal feed, water and clinical samples. Brilliant green suppresses most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas species, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhi.
Lactose and sucrose provide fermentable carbohydrates. Bacteria that ferment these carbohydrates produce acid and lower the pH of the medium. Yeast extract and proteose peptone supply carbon, nitrogen, vitamins, amino acids and other essential nutrients.
The medium differentiates organisms by their colony appearance. Typical Salmonella species produce pinkish-white to red colonies surrounded by a red halo. Uninhibited lactose- or sucrose-fermenting organisms produce yellow-green colonies with a green halo.
