Triple Sugar Iron Test

The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) Test  To determine the ability of an organism to ferment glucose, lactose, and sucrose, and their ability to produce hydrogen sulfide. Principle The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) test is a microbiological test named for its ability to test a microorganism’s ability to ferment sugars and to produce hydrogen sulfide. An agar slant of a special medium with multiple sugars constituting a pH-sensitive dye (phenol red), 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, as well as sodium thiosulfate and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate is used for carrying out the test.  . Due to the building of acid during fermentation, the pH falls. The acid base indicator Phenol red. is incorporated for detecting carbohydrate fermentation that is indicated by the change in color of the carbohydrate medium from orange red to yellow in the pres...

MacConkey Agar

MacConkey Agar MacConkey agar  is a selective and differential media used for the isolation and differentiation of non-fastidious gram-negative rods, particularly members of the family Enterobacteriaceae . Composition MacConkey agar is used for the isolation of gram-negative enteric bacteria and the differentiation of lactose fermenting from lactose non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.  Pancreatic digest of gelatin  and  peptones (meat and casein)  provide the essential nutrients, vitamins and nitrogenous factors required for growth of microorganisms.  Lactose monohydrate  is the fermentable source of carbohydrate. The selective action of this medium is attributed to  crystal violet  and  bile salts,  which are inhibitory to most species of gram-positive bacteria.  Sodium chloride  maintains the osmotic balance in the medium. ...
