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 />
