Thermo ScientificTM OxoidTM
Selectively enumerate Bacillus cereus in food samples with Thermo Scientific⢠Oxoid⢠MYP Agar (Dehydrated). The medium relies upon mannitol fermentation and phospholipase C production to differentiate Bacillus cereus from other members of the species.
Mannitol-negative Bacillus cereus form pink colored colonies due to the presence of Phenol Red Indicator. Egg yolk emulsion helps in the differentiation of phospholipase C producing colonies, which are surrounded by a zone of the white precipitate. Polymixin B Sulphate acts as the inhibitor to restrict the growth of Gram-negative bacteria.
