Product Description
Lactose Sulphite Broth Base is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of sulphite-reducing bacteria. This high-quality broth base, manufactured by Himedia (M1287), is widely used in research labs, educational institutions, and diagnostic centers for studying bacterial metabolism and identifying specific microbial strains.
The medium contains lactose as a fermentable carbohydrate and sodium sulphite, which allows for the detection of bacteria capable of reducing sulphite to hydrogen sulphide. This makes it particularly useful in food microbiology, water testing, and clinical diagnostics where sulphite-reducing bacteria like Clostridium and Salmonella are of interest.
When preparing the medium, the powder is dissolved in distilled water, sterilized, and then inoculated with the sample. The presence of sulphite-reducing bacteria is indicated by the formation of black colonies due to the production of iron sulphide, providing a clear visual confirmation of bacterial activity.
For researchers and students working in microbiology, Lactose Sulphite Broth Base offers a reliable and consistent medium for experimental work. Its ease of preparation and clear results make it a preferred choice in academic and professional settings.
