Product Overview
Bile Esculin Agar Plate is a specialized medium used in microbiology for the identification of Enterococcus species. This high-grade agar plate is formulated to support the growth of Enterococcus while inhibiting other bacteria. The presence of bile and esculin in the medium allows for the differentiation of Enterococcus from other organisms. When Enterococcus is present, the esculin is hydrolyzed, resulting in a black color due to the formation of iron esculin complex. This plate is essential for clinical and research laboratories involved in the identification and differentiation of Enterococcus species. The high-quality ingredients ensure reliable and accurate results, making it a trusted choice for microbiologists and researchers.
