Principle
- Acetate agar is formulated by Whittenbury (1965) and used for the cultivation of Leuconostoc and Pediococcus species. The media is consisting of peptone, meat extract, yeast extract, dextrose, polysorbate 80, sodium acetate, and agar.
- Peptone yeast extract and meat extract provide nitrogen, amino acids, and essential elements required for the growth of organisms.
- Dextrose is the source of energy and sodium acetate is the carbon source. Polysorbate 80 maintains the surface tension of the medium.
