Simmons Citrate Agar Oxoid CM0155B

Simmons Citrate Agar Oxoid CM0155B Kemasan 500 gram An agar medium for the differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae based on the utilisation of citrate as the sole source of carbon. Simmons Citrate Agar is recommended (Ewing and Edwards1 ) for the differentiation of the family Enterobacteriaceae based on whether or not citrate is utilised as the sole source of carbon. The medium is virtually a solidified form of Koser citrate medium which, in its original form, suffered from the disadvantage that false appearance of growth occurred when large inocula were employed. The addition of bromothymol blue indicator to the medium was a distinct improvement. Simmons Citrate Agar complies with the recommendations of the APHA2.
