Deoxycholate agar

Descrição detalhada : Deoxycholate agar contains peptone to provide nitrogen, vitamins, carbon, amino acids, and other nutrients to support the growth of microorganisms. Lactose is a fermentable carbohydrate. Sodium chloride and dipotassium phosphate maintain the osmotic balance. Sodium deoxycholate and ammonium iron citrate inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Neutral red is a pH indicator. Agar acts as the solidifying agent.Fermentation of lactose is the basis for the differentiation of enteric bacteria. Lactose-positive bacteria, like coliform bacteria, produce acid from lactose and form red colonies. Lactose-negative bacteria, such as Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp., form colorless colonies.
