Key Features

MOQ 1 CARTON
Lactose Fermenters: Bacteria that ferment lactose (like E. coli) produce acid, which lowers the pH, causing the neutral red pH indicator to turn pink or red.
Non-Lactose Fermenters: Bacteria that do not ferment lactose (like Salmonella or Shigella) produce colorless or pale colonies, indicating no acid production.
Selective Action: The bile salts and crystal violet in MacConkey Agar inhibit the growth of most Gram-positive bacteria, making it selective for Gram-negative organisms.
Use in Enteric Pathogen Detection: Commonly used to isolate pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and Klebsiella from clinical samples, water, and food.
Inhibits Gram-Positive Bacteria: The inclusion of bile salts and crystal violet selectively suppresses Gram-positive organisms, providing clear differentiation of Gram-negative bacteria.
Application: Primarily used in clinical diagnostics, food testing, and environmental microbiology to detect contamination by Gram-negative enteric bacteria.

Frequently bought together:

MacConkey Agar (500g) is a type of selective and differential growth medium used in microbiology for the isolation and differentiation of enteric (intestinal) Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
