Applications:
Suitable for the cultivation of anaerobes and stock culture maintenance. Used to differentiate saccharolytic from proteolytic Clostridium sp. Saccharolytic species form acid and gas without digesting the meat. Proteolytic species form sulfur compounds (putrid smell) and break down the meat to amino acids (blackening). Also suitable for recovery of Clostridium botulinum from foods.
Expected cultural response after 48-72 hours at 35.0 degrees C.
Reconstitution:
Place 1.25g of meat granules into a test tube. Add 1ml purified water. Autoclave at 121 degrees C for 15 minutes.
