PROSKAUER BECK MEDIUM

Proskauer and Beck medium is an inorganic chemically defined medium which supports growth of M. tuberculosis. It was reported that chemically modified defined growth medium like Proskauer and Beck medium provides more consistent cellular fatty acid profiles than lipid rich L. J. medium. With added ferrous chloride (0.0046 g /ltr) and ZnSO4 .7H2O (0.001 g/ltr) (referred as Modified Proskauer and Beck medium) this medium is recommended by AOAC for testing Tuberculocidal activity of disinfectants.
