UNIVERSAL BEER AGAR (UB AGAR) (VEG.)

Universal Beer Veg Agar is prepared by replacing Peptonized milk by Veg hydrolysate No.3 which is free from BSE/TSE risks. This medium is the modification of Universal Beer Agar which is designed according to the formula developed by Kozulis and Page for culturing microorganisms which are significant in the brewing industry. Beer is added to the medium to stimulate the growth of beer spoilage organisms, thereby increasing the selectivity of the medium. Beer contains hop constituents and ethyl alcohol which eliminates many airborne contaminants and thus help in minimizing false positive results. Universal Beer Veg Agar supports growth of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Acetobacter and yeast strains which may be found contaminating the wort and beer.
