M-Endo Coliform <strong>Broth</strong><br />
M-Endo <strong>Broth</strong> is used for the<br />
enumeration of coliforms by membrane<br />
filtration. It is used to differentiate<br />
lactose from non-lactose<br />
fermenting intestinal organisms and<br />
as a presumptive test for coliforms.<br />
Description:<br />
M-Endo is a red colored media, which<br />
needs to be stored in the dark to prevent<br />
discoloration of the media. Gram-positive<br />
bacteria are inhibited on this media by<br />
the desoxycholate and lauryl sulfate. The<br />
addition of ethanol increases the<br />
antibacterial nature of the formulation.<br />
Lactose fermenting organisms form<br />
aldehydes, which react with Schiffs<br />
reagent (basic fuchsin and sodium sulfite)<br />
to give red colored zones around the<br />
colonies. Coliform colonies are therefore<br />
red with a characteristic metallic sheen.<br />
Interpretation:<br />
Production of both acid and aldehyde<br />
by lactose fermenters, such as<br />
Escherichia coli, produce deep red<br />
colonies that color the surrounding<br />
medium and have a green metallic<br />
sheen. Non-lactose fermenters form<br />
colorless, translucent colonies.<br />
