MYP AGAR BASE (PHENOL RED EGG YOLK POLYMYXIN AGAR BASE)

Mannitol Egg Yolk Polymyxin Agar is a selective and differential medium developed by Mossel et al. The diagnostic features of the medium rely upon the failure of Bacillus cereus to utilize mannitol and the ability of its most strains to show lecithinase activity. This medium also differentiate B.cereus on the basis of its resistance to Polymyxin B. It is recommended by BIS committee under the specifications IS:5887 (Part V)-1976.
