Biokar KLIGLER Agar 500 grams BK034HA

Biokar KLIGLER Agar 500 grams BK034HA is a selective and differential medium used for the isolation, cultivation, and differentiation of various bacterial species based on their ability to ferment carbohydrates and produce hydrogen sulfide. It is commonly employed in clinical settings, research laboratories, and food microbiology.

Benefits/Advantages:

• Selective and Differential: The medium selectively inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and promotes the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, aiding in the isolation of specific pathogens. It also allows for the differentiation of bacterial species based on their biochemical activities.

• Triple Sugar Iron Agar Base: Based on triple sugar iron agar, it helps differentiate bacteria through the fermentation of glucose, lactose, and sucrose.

• Lactose and Sucrose Fermentation: It differentiates bacteria based on their ability to ferment lactose and sucrose, enabling identification through color changes.

• Hydrogen Sulfide Production: It detects hydrogen sulfide production by certain bacteria through the formation of a black precipitate.

• pH Indicator: The medium contains a pH indicator that changes color in response to acid production by fermenting bacteria.
