Thermo Fisher, R061308, Lysozyme Broth

Quantity: 20 x 5 mL
Unit Size: Each
The aerobic actinomycetes are a heterogenous group of genera and include species of Nocardia and Streptomyces^3. As a group, the organisms are gram-positive, catalase-positive and may be presumptively identified by staining properties, microscopic morphology, and substrate degradation^4. Lysozyme Broth contains lysozyme that inhibits the growth of some aerobic actinomycetes, but not all. Most Nocardia spp. are resistant and grow in the presence of lysozyme.This medium contains beef extract, peptone, and glycerol that supply carbohydrates, vitamins, nitrogen compounds, salts, and amino acids necessary for the growth of aerobic actinomycetes.
