Brilliant Green Bile Broth 2% (Brilliant Green Bile Lactose Broth)

Principle

• Brilliant green bile broth (BGB) medium is composed of peptone, which provides an ample amount of carbon, nitrogen, and essential and non-essential amino acids, along with trace minerals.
• The Bile salts in it inhibit the gram-positive microbes. Lactose is a carbohydrate source. Bacteria that ferment lactose are detected by the gas production trapped inside Durham’s tube.
• Brilliant Green inhibits gram-positive bacteria and many gram-negative bacteria other than coliforms. Bile broth base is used as selective microbial media for the enumeration and detection of the enterococcus family members.

Use:

Recommended for detection and confirmation of coliform bacteria in municipal water, wastewater, food, milk, and dairy products.
