Directions
Suspend 46.75 grams in 1000 ml distilled water containing 10ml glycerol. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.
Principle And Interpretation
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (also known as Pseudomonas pyocyanea ) is a gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. Like other Pseudomonads, P. aeruginosa secretes a variety of pigments, including pyocyanin (blue-green), fluorescein (yellow-green and fluorescent), and pyorubin (red-brown). King et al developed Pseudomonas Agar P (i.e. King A media) for enhancing pyocyanin and pyorubin production and Pseudomonas Agar F (i.e. King B media) for enhancing fluorescein production (1). HiFluoro Pseudomonas HiVeg Agar Base is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with veg peptones. This media is a modification of HiFluoro Pseudomonas Agar Base which is devised based on the formula described by King et al. (1) except fluorogenic mixture. It is used as the selective medium for the isolation of P. aeruginosa from pus, sputum and drains etc. Cetrimide (Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) is incorporated in the medium to inhibit bacteria other than P. aeruginosa . It acts as a quaternary ammonium compound, cationic detergent that causes nitrogen and phosphorus to be released from bacterial cells other than P.aeruginosa . P.aeruginosa cleaves the fluorogenic compound to release the fluorogen which produces a visible fluorescence under long wave UV light.
