Product Overview
Mannitol Salt Broth is a specialized culture medium used primarily for the differentiation of bacterial species based on their ability to ferment mannitol. This broth is formulated with a high concentration of salt, which inhibits the growth of most bacteria except for those that can tolerate high salt environments, such as Staphylococcus species. The presence of mannitol and a pH indicator allows for easy identification of mannitol-fermenting bacteria, which turn the broth yellow due to the production of acidic byproducts. This product is essential for microbiology labs, educational institutions, and research facilities, providing reliable results for bacterial identification and differentiation.
