Thioglycollate HiVegâ„¢ Agar 500G

Thioglycollate HiVegâ„¢ is recommended for cultivation of anaerobic microorganisms. Hiveg hydrolysate, yeast extract provides nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds, vitamin B and other essential growth nutrients. Dextrose is the fermentable carbohydrate and energy source. Resazurin acts as the redox indicator. Thioglycollate neutralizes the bacteriostatic effect of mercurial compounds used as the preservatives. This medium is prepared by replacing animal peptones with vegetable defined peptones to avoid BSE/TSE/GMO risk.
