HiCromeâ„¢ Vibrio HiCynthâ„¢ Agar 100G

This chemically defined medium is recommended for the isolation, and differentiation of Vibrio species from seafood. The colour development by Vibrio species in not affected by the presence of colonies of other bacteria. This is because, the amount of colour developed depends on the reaction of the bacterial beta-galactosidase with the substrate contained in the media. The high (alkaline) pH of the medium helps in selective isolation of Vibrio species. This media helps in the chromogenic differentiation of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
