Description |
Kenner, Clark and Kabler (1960,1961) discovered that KF media were excellent for detecting enterococci in polluted water. Carbohydrates in this medium viz. lactose and maltose, are utilised by most of enterococci, producing a big amount of acid and making the indicator turn from violet to yellow. streptococci that do not belong to D group may also grow in the medium, but they do not produce enough acid to change the indicator colour. Other microorganisms, are strongly inhibited by sodium azide. enterococci reduce TTC to formazan and so their colonies are red coloured |

Application |
Liquid and selective medium for enterococci enumeration by the MPN or membrane filter methods. |
