Acetobacter Agar (Glucose)

Product Description

Acetobacter Agar (Glucose) is a specialized microbiological culture medium formulated for the isolation, cultivation, and maintenance of Acetobacter species and other acetic acid-producing bacteria. The medium contains glucose as a primary carbon source, promoting the growth and metabolic activity of acetic acid bacteria commonly found in fermented foods, beverages, vinegar production, and environmental samples. It is widely used in microbiology laboratories, food industries, fermentation research, and quality control applications.

Features and Benefits

• Supports excellent growth of Acetobacter and related species.
• Glucose-rich formulation enhances bacterial metabolism.
• Suitable for routine microbiological testing and research.
• Provides consistent and reproducible results.
• Easy preparation and reliable performance.
• Ideal for food, beverage, and industrial fermentation laboratories.
• Manufactured under strict quality control standards.

Principle

Acetobacter Agar (Glucose) provides essential nutrients, growth factors, and glucose as an energy source to support the growth of acetic acid bacteria. These microorganisms oxidize sugars and alcohols to produce organic acids, particularly acetic acid. The medium facilitates the isolation and study of these bacteria from various samples, enabling identification and quality assessment in fermentation-related processes.

Preparation

1. Suspend the recommended quantity of dehydrated medium in purified water.
2. Heat with frequent stirring until the medium dissolves completely.
3. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes.
4. Cool the medium to 45–50°C.
5. Pour into sterile Petri dishes and allow to solidify before use.

Storage

• Store the dehydrated medium in a tightly sealed container.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Recommended storage temperature: 10°C to 30°C.
• Use prepared plates according to laboratory quality control protocols.

Packaging Options

Available in multiple packaging sizes:

• 100 g
• 500 g
