Tributyrin Agar

Tributyrin agar is designed for the detection and enumeration of lipolytic microorganisms in food and other material (staphylococci, pseudomonads, clostridiae and marine flavobacteria).

Range	Bacteriology Media
Composition	Formula per liter of medium: Special peptone 5.00 gm; Yeast extract 3.00 gm; Agar 12.00 gm. Final pH (at 37°C) 7.5 ± 0.2. ** Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Preparation	Suspend 20 g in 1 litre distilled water. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Let cool to 80°C and add 10g neutral Tributyrin (91010). Mix thoroughly to emulsify the Tributyrin completely. Pour plates in order to maintain uniform turbidity. If the emulsion separates, the effectiveness of the culture medium is affected.
Storage	BioScien Tributyrin Agar Stored prepared media below 8°C, protected from direct light. Store dehydrated powder, in a dry place, in tightly-sealed containers at 2-25°C. Use before expiry date on the label.
