MALACHITE GREEN BROTH

Pseudomonas species is an environmental organism found in water and soil and on plants, including fruits and vegetables. Pseudomonas aeruginosa has the ability to survive in the aqueous environments like whirlpool bathwater, swimming pools etc. Whirlpools with elevated temperature, reduced chlorine and increased amounts of organic matter provide ideal conditions for the growth of P. aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa is commonly isolated from whirlpool waters that is coliform-negative.
Malachite Green Broth is recommended for the selective enrichment of P. aeruginosa as per Habs and Kirschner. It is also used for testing water samples as recommended by Schubert and Blum.
