Agar(TTGA)<br />

TTGA is a selective and differential agar specific for the<br />

isolation of V. <strong>cholerae</strong> .<br />

has a relatively long shelf life after preparation.<br />

overnight colonies of V. <strong>cholerae</strong> on TTGA tend to be<br />

smaller (1 to 2 mm) than those from the TCBS agar.<br />

Potassium tellurite, which is added to the medium to<br />

increase selectivity .<br />

Overnight growth of V. <strong>cholerae</strong> on TTGA agar appears<br />

opaque zone around colonies which resembles a halo,<br />

which is due to the production of the enzyme gelatinase,<br />

can be intensified by brief (15- to 30-minute) refrigeration<br />
