CETRIMIDE AGAR 500g

PSEUDOMONAS (CETRIMIDE) AGAR is recommended by the European Pharmacopoeia for the isolation and identification of Pseudomonas strains. The medium promotes the production of fluorescein (pyoverdin), a green-yellow fluorescent pigment that oxidizes to yellow. It is water-soluble and, unlike pyocyanin (blue-green pigment), is not soluble in chloroform. The pigment diffuses throughout the medium and the fluorescent yellow-green color is observed.
