General description
Vibrio ChromoSelect Agar is a selective and differential culture medium designed for the isolation and chromogenic differentiation of Vibrio species, particularly from seafood samples. It is part of the NutriSelect® Plus range and is available in powdered form. The medium contains a chromogenic mixture that enables the differentiation of Vibrio species based on their enzymatic activity, resulting in distinct colony colors. The composition includes agar, chromogenic substrates, peptic digest of animal tissue, sodium chloride, sodium cholate, sodium citrate, and sodium thiosulfate.
