General description
MI Broth and MI Agar
MI Broth detects the presence of coliform bacteria by the production of b-galactosidase, which cleaves the substrate MUGal to produce 4-methylumbelliferone, which fluoresces on exposure to UV light. Non-coliforms do not produce this enzyme and therefore do not fluoresce on the medium. Escherichia coli is detected by the compound IBDG. The b-glucuronidase produced by Escherichia coli cleaves the substrate to produce a blue indigo color in the colonies. As Escherichia coli is also a total coliform, and also produces b-galactosidase, it will also fluoresce. The antibiotic cefsulodin is present to inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria and some non-coliform gram-negative bacteria that can cause false positive reactions.
