ENDO AGAR BASE (VEG.)

This medium is prepared by replacing Peptic digest of animal tissue with Veg peptone that is free of BSE/TSE risk. Endo Agar(Veg) media are the modifications of Endo Agar media which was developed by Endo for differentiation of lactose fermenters and lactose non-fermenters. Endo Agar(Veg) media like Endo Agar media are used for microbiological examination of potable water and waste water, dairy products and food. The selectiviy of Endo Agar is due to Sodium sulfite / Basic fuchsin combination, which results in the suppression of gram positive organisms. Coliforms ferment the lactose, produce pink to rose red colonies and similar colouration of the medium. The colonies of organisms that do not ferment the lactose are colourless to faint against the pink background of the medium.
