Lysine Indole Motility Medium, Modified 100G

Lysine Indole Motility Medium, Modified is used as an aid for the identification of members of Enterobacteriaceae on the basis of lysine decarboxylase, indole production and motility. It is a semisolid medium used for the differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae group by lysine decarboxylation, indole production and motility. A small amount of agar is added for demonstration of motility along the stab line of inoculation. Growth of motile organisms extends out from the line of inoculation, while non-motile organisms grow only along the stab line. Bromocresol purple serves as the pH indicator.
