Product Description
Lysine Indole Motility Medium, Modified is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the simultaneous detection of bacterial motility and indole production. This medium is widely used in clinical and research laboratories to identify and differentiate bacterial species based on their metabolic and motility characteristics.
The medium contains L-lysine as the primary nitrogen source, which allows for the detection of lysine decarboxylase activity. The addition of tryptophan enables the detection of indole production, a key biochemical test for bacterial identification. The semi-solid consistency of the medium facilitates the observation of bacterial motility.
This modified version of the Lysine Indole Motility Medium is optimized for enhanced performance and reliability. It is particularly useful for identifying members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, and Proteus species. The medium is easy to prepare and provides clear, interpretable results, making it an essential tool for microbiologists.
At eqipped, we ensure that you receive high-quality microbiological media that meet stringent quality standards. Our Lysine Indole Motility Medium is sourced from Himedia, a trusted name in microbiology products, ensuring accurate and reproducible results in your laboratory.

FAQs
What is Lysine Indole Motility Medium used for?
Lysine Indole Motility Medium is used to detect bacterial motility and indole production, aiding in the identification and differentiation of bacterial species.
How do I interpret the results of Lysine Indole Motility Medium?
Motility is observed as a diffuse growth away from the inoculation line. Indole production is detected by adding Kovac’s reagent, which turns red in the presence of indole.
Can I use Lysine Indole Motility Medium for all bacterial species?
While it is useful for many bacterial species, it is particularly effective for members of the Enterobacteriaceae family.
How should I store Lysine Indole Motility Medium?
Store the medium in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prepared medium should be stored at 2-8°C.
Where can I buy Lysine Indole Motility Medium online?
You can buy Lysine Indole Motility Medium online at eqipped, ensuring high-quality products and fast delivery.
