Product Description
MacConkey Broth is a widely used selective medium in microbiology labs for isolating and differentiating Gram-negative bacteria. This broth contains bile salts and crystal violet, which inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while allowing Gram-negative bacteria to thrive. The inclusion of lactose and a pH indicator (neutral red) helps distinguish lactose-fermenting bacteria, such as E. coli, from non-lactose fermenters.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this broth is essential for experiments involving bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. The 100 ml packs are convenient for small-scale experiments, ensuring you have the right quantity without excess waste.
