LITMUS LACTOSE AGAR

Numerous plating media are in use today for the differentiation of lactose-fermenters and lactose non-fermenters. Some of these are selective, whereas others are differential. Some lactose fermenting, gram-negative enteric bacteria can tolerate the inhibitory substances present in the media. These bacteria can be recognized readily by their appearance on selective plates. Litmus Lactose Agar is formulated by Wurtz for the differentiation of lactose fermenting and lactose non-fermenting bacteria.
