Eosin methylene blue (EMB) Agar for lab grade
Selective medium: EMB agar selectively inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria due to its high concentration of methylene blue dye.Indicator of lactose fermentation: EMB agar contains lactose as a fermentable carbohydrate, allowing for the differentiation of lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting bacteria.Detection of coliform bacteria: EMB agar is commonly used in water and food testing to identify the presence of coliform bacteria, particularly E. coli, which produces distinctive colonies on the medium.Inhibition of swarming bacteria: The eosin and methylene blue dyes in EMB agar suppress the swarming of certain bacterial species, facilitating the isolation of individual colonies.Quality Control in Food and Water Analysis: EMB agar is commonly used in microbiological analysis of food and water samples to detect and quantify fecal contamination and potential pathogens.
