Key Features

  • MOQ 10 SETS
  • Medium Type: Nutrient agar enriched with DNA for the detection of DNase activity.
  • Primary Ingredient: DNA, which is incorporated into the medium to allow bacteria capable of producing DNase to break it down.
  • Indicator: Methyl green or toluidine blue is typically added as an indicator. These dyes form a complex with the DNA, which turns the agar green or blue. If a bacterium produces DNase, it breaks down the DNA, resulting in a clear zone around the bacterial growth.
  • Microbial Identification: DNase agar is primarily used for the identification of bacteria that produce DNase. This characteristic is helpful in differentiating species of Staphylococcus (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, which produces DNase) from other species that do not.
  • Pathogen Detection: DNase production is a virulence factor in some pathogens, so this medium can also help identify pathogenic bacteria.
  • Differentiation of Gram-Positive Cocci: Particularly used in identifying Staphylococcus species, as the ability to degrade DNA is a key diagnostic feature for differentiating certain staphylococcal strains.

DNase Agar 500g is a specialized medium used in microbiological laboratories for the detection of DNase activity. DNase is an enzyme produced by some bacteria that can break down DNA, and DNase agar is used to isolate and identify such organisms based on their ability to degrade DNA.
