Product Code TM 1714
Description
Pseudomonas Broth is based on the formulation described by King et al and as recommended in U.S. Pharmacopoeia for detecting pyocyanin, a water soluble pigment by Pseudomonas species. This medium enhances the elaboration of pyocyanin but inhibits the formation of fluorescein pigment. The fluorescein pigment diffuses from the colonies of Pseudomonas and shows blue colouration. Some Pseudomonas strains produce small amounts of fluoresce in resulting in a blue-green colouration.
