Description

m-CP Agar is a selective and chromogenic medium used for the presumptive identification of Clostridium perfringens in waters.

The lack of B-D-glucosidase activity and the ability to ferment sucrose by Clostridium perfringens cause its growth with yellow colonies. Other species of clostrides appear purple, due to the inability to ferment sucrose; or blue / green for the ability to hydrolyze the indoxyl B-D glucoside and ferment sucrose.

Add to the basic medium the supplements m-CP Chromo Selective Supplement (Cod. 76.170) and m-CP Phenolphthalein Supplement (Cod. 76.171)
