REINFORCED CLOSTRIDIAL AGAR (VEG.)

Reinforced Clostridial Agar (Veg) is specially developed using Veg hydrolysate and Veg extract to avoid BSE/TSE risks associated with animal origin peptones and extracts. Reinforced Clostridial Agar (Veg) Media are the modifications of Reinforced Clostridial Media which are formulated by Hirsch and Grinsted. It can be used to initiate growth from small inocula and to obtain the highest viable count of Clostridia. This medium like the conventional medium can be used for diluting an inoculum of vegetative cells of Clostridium perfringens as suggested by Barnes and Ingram or can be used in studies of spore forming anaerobes, especially Clostridium butyricum in cheese, also for the enumeration of Clostridia in tube dilution counts and for preparation of plates for isolation. Other spore forming anaerobes, Streptococci and Lactobacilli also grow in these media. These are enriched but nonselective media.
