Pseudomonas HiVegâ„¢ Agar (For Fluorescein) 100G

This Hiveg media is based on the formula described by King et al and as recommended by U.S. Pharmacopeia for detecting fluorescein production a water soluble, chloroform insoluble fluorescent pigment by Pseudomonas species. The medium enhances the elaboration of fluorescein by Pseudomonas and inhibits the pyocyanin formation. The fluorescein pigment diffuses from the colonies of Pseudomonas into the agar and shows yellow fluorescent colouration.
