Motility GI Medium is a semisolid medium that is used to demonstrate motility test of Enterobacteriaceae. Various investigators have reported that certain enteric gram-negative bacilli appear to be non-motile on solid media, but demonstrate motility when grown on semisolid media^2. Motility GI medium contains gelatin and agar that provide a semisolid medium which makes motility interpretations macroscopic. The concentration of agar (0.3%) in Motility GI Medium is reduced compared to other formulations.
