LAURYL TRYPTOSE MANNITOL BROTH W/TRYPTOPHAN

Identification of bacteria that constitute the coliform group sometimes is necessary to determine the nature of pollution. It is of particular importance in reference to distinguishing the presence of Escherichia coli, an indicator of fecal contamination. Lauryl Tryptose Mannitol Broth w/ Tryptophan is a single tube medium used for the confirmation of E. coli in drinking water as recommended by report 71. This medium is also recommended by the ISO committee and is also a suitable medium as per the requirements of the EC Directive for the quality of drinking water. This medium may be used in parallel to Lauryl Tryptose Broth to detect non-lactose fermenting strains of E. coli.
