DNASE TEST AGAR W/ METHYL GREEN *

DNase test Agar is used for detecting deoxyribonuclease activity of bacteria and fungi and particularly for identification of pathogenic Staphylococci. DNase producing organisms exhibit clear zone around growth against green background. Reagent addition is not required. This medium is based on modification of the procedure for detecting DNase-producing bacteria as per Smith, Hanoch, and Rhoden and Jefferies, Holtman and Guse. The medium supports growth of both gram positive and gram-negative bacteria.
