CRM003 E.coli & Coliform Chromogenic Medium (ECC)
(Chromogenic Coliform & E.coli Agar)
Usages:
For the rapid detection and of coliforms and E. coli.
Principle:
Peptone and yeast extract powder provides carbon and nitrogen sources and trace elements; sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium; agar as medium coagulant; dodecyl sulfate inhibit Gram-positive bacteria; chromogenic substrate were mixed occurrence of coliforms and E. coli enzyme corresponding specific reactions, hydrolysis of the substrate, the release of the color groups, in a pale yellow plates coliforms appears orange-red colonies while E.coli appears blue-green colonies.
Formulation (per liter):
Peptone 15.0g
Yeast extract powder 3.0g
Sodium chloride: 5.0g
Sodium lauryl sulfate: 0.1g
Agar: 12.0g
Mixed chromogenic substrate: 6.77g
Final pH 7.0 ± 0.2
How to use:
1. Weigh 41.9g of the product, adding , 1.0 L of distilled or deionized water, heated to boiling stir until completely dissolved, dispensing into flask, 115 autoclaved 10minutes.
2, Take 25.0g or 25.0mL of sample with sterile procedures, added to the flask containing 225.0mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline (or saline) ,shaken thoroughly homogenized with a homogenizer or a 1:10 dilution of 1min solution, diluted 1:10 and then continue to select the appropriate serial dilutions of three, the two plates inoculated with each dilution, poured dissolved by heating and cooled to about 45 medium.
3, observe the results.
Quality control:
This product appears light yellow after pouring on plate, these strains were inoculated after 36 ± 1 18 ~ 24h culture growth in the following table.
Bacteria name bacteria NO. growth situation feature
Escherichia coli ATCC25922 good blue-green colonies
Citrobacter ATCC8090 good orange-red colonies

Q1:
Sometimes color of dehydrated culture media between batches have subtle differences,would this affect test results?
A1:The source and storage conditions of raw material is different ,so there may be a slight difference in color, which is a normal phenomenon. Products from our company have to undergo a rigorous inspection and sensory biology verification before sale, to ensure that all the indicators characteristics of the product is under enterprise standard to the extent permitted, not affect the test results.
Q2:
After pouring the liquid medium on the plate , medium seems hard to clot or coagulation time is longer, is it some problem with product quality?
A2: The reason may be:
The required hydration in the preparation process have not been done completely .That is to say distilled water is not boil sufficiently to dissolve agar. Because agar proportion, easily settle in the bottom of the bottle, if not fully shaken after high-temperature sterilization, it will lead to uneven upper agar culture gene content and difficult to set.
Q3:
Why some colonies of E. coli chromogenic medium color not shown above, but also confirmed through biochemical tests for E. coli (false negative)?
A3: E. CHROMOGENIC medium is based on the principle of specific enzyme of E. coli and design, 94% of E. coli have β- glucuronidase enzyme, with the chromogenic enzyme substrate medium role in the formation of blue-green colonies. And about 4% of the E. coli does not have β- glucuronidase enzymes, including concern O157: H7 Escherichia coli. Therefore, these E. coli can not be displayed on the color characteristic of E. coli chromogenic medium,it is possible of false-negative on the chromogenic medium. However, the traditional medium of the same can not avoid the problem of false negatives, such as: no gas or slow ferment lactose intolerance may also strain 44.5 false negatives in the conventional medium. For this small part of the E. coli can be detected using other methods.
