Pseudomonas asparagine broth is recommended by APHA for presumptive determination of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from water sources or samples.
The media is composed of DL-asparagine, dipotassium phosphate, and magnesium sulfate.
Asparagine is the amino acid source. Dipotassium phosphate acts as a buffering agent. Magnesium sulfate provides essential cations for fluorescein production.
Use: Recommended for presumptive determination of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from water samples.
