The supplement can be added to a variety of culture media, making it versatile for different types of bacterial growth conditions. It is designed to inhibit the growth of non-target microorganisms, thus facilitating the selective growth of specific bacteria strains such as Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
