Nutrient Agar is recommended as a general culture medium for the cultivation of the majority of the less fastidious microorganisms.

…Bacilli. Modified MYP Agar Base contains peptic digest of animal tissue and meat extract, which provide nitrogen source. Mannitol fermentation can be detected by phenol red, which yields yellow color to the mannitol fermenting colonies due to acid production. Added egg yolk emulsion helps in…

…Enterococci and Staphylococci ferment mannitol and is indicated by color change from red to yellow. Under microaerophilic conditions, strict aerobes such as Bacillus species and Pseudomonas species are inhibited. The addition of egg yolk (2.5% v/v) to PALCAM Agar has been reported to aid repair…

…supplementation of egg yolk emulsion is not required. After incubation at 30°C for 24-48 hours, approximately 0.1 ml of the broth is streaked on Listeria selective agars such as Listeria Identification Agar (PALCAM) (M1064) or Listeria Oxford Agar (M1145). The combination of mannitol and phenol…
