Additional Information for Lactose Broth Culture Medium
Lactose Broth Culture Medium is a type of culture medium used in microbiology laboratories for the cultivation and identification of bacteria. It is classified under the supply class "In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits And Sets" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Lactose Broth Culture Medium contains lactose, a type of sugar, as the main carbohydrate source. It also contains other nutrients and growth factors necessary for the growth of bacteria. The medium is typically used to detect the presence of lactose-fermenting bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which produce acid and gas when they metabolize lactose.
To use Lactose Broth Culture Medium, a sample suspected of containing bacteria is inoculated into the medium and incubated at an appropriate temperature. If lactose-fermenting bacteria are present, the medium will turn yellow due to the production of acid. Non-lactose fermenters will not produce acid and the medium will remain its original color.
Lactose Broth Culture Medium is an essential tool in microbiology laboratories for various applications, including the identification of bacterial species, testing for the presence of specific pathogens, and monitoring bacterial growth and metabolism.
