Identify and differentiate Shigella and nonmotile Escherechia coli based on mucic acid utilization using InMicro® Prepared: Mucate Medium (Mucic Acid).
Differentiate Shigella and nonmotile Escherechia coli based on mucic acid utilization with InMicro® Prepared: Mucate Medium (Mucic Acid).
Ellis et al. modified Kauffmann and Petersen’s formula to prepare this medium. Mucate Medium (Mucic Acid) is recommended for use in conjunction with other tests to differentiate and identify certain members of Enterobacteriaceae, including E. coli and Shigella.
Mucate Medium (Mucic Acid) is a liquid medium that is used to differentiate Shigella and nonmotile Escherechia coli based on mucic acid utilization.
Mucic acid gets converted to mucate when pH of the medium is adjusted by sodium hydroxide during the manufacturing process. Utilization of mucate results in an acid reaction that causes the indicator (brom thymol blue) to change color from blue to yellow.
Mucate Medium (Mucic Acid) contains peptone that provides nitrogenous compounds and amino acids essential for bacterial growth. Brom thymol blue is an indicator.
Manufactured at a cGMP-compliant facility under the ISO 13485 standard, ensuring high-quality manufacturing standards, consistency, and reliability for both research and industrial settings.
