Description
Coliform Broth w/SLS is a selective medium recommended for the simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli and total coliforms in water and food samples. The enzyme ?-glucuronidase produced by E.coli cleaves X-glucuronide thus imparting blue colour to the medium. Formation of cherry red colour after addition of few drops (0.5ml) of Kovac’s reagent to the medium indicates the presence of E.coli.
