Description

Aids in the identification of aerobic and facultative anaerobic, gram-negative microorganisms via the nitrate reduction test. BD™ Difco™ Nitrate Broth is a basal medium containing potassium nitrate. Microorganisms are inoculated into the medium and then incubated.

Microorganisms may be differentiated according to their metabolism of certain substrates. The production of gas from nitrate is an important differential test for glucose-nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli. The end product of reduction depends upon the bacterial species.

  • Nitrate Broth is a basal medium containing potassium nitrate.
  • The microorganism under evaluation is inoculated into the medium and after incubation, nitrate reduction may be determined.
  • Identifies: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus 19606, Enterobacter aerogenes 13048, Escherichia coli 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 27853
