Description |
This medium is formulated according to the Swiss Standards for the detection of coliforms in the food. Although the medium is complete by itself, it is recommended to add 5 g/L of glucose or lactose in order to make the colonial growth more evident. Direct detection is achieved by adding to the preparation the fluorescent agent (MUG, Ref. 06-102). After incubation of the sample dilution or filter membrane, E.coli colonies show a light blue fluorescence when examined under UV light |
