Chromocult® Tryptone Bile X-glucuronide agar is a selective medium for the enumeration of
Escherichia coli. The presence of the enzyme -D-glucuronidase differentiates most
E. coli from other coliforms.
E. coli absorbs the chromogenic substrate 5-bromo-4-chloro-3- indolyl--D-glucuronide (X--D-glucuronide) while, the enzyme -glucuronidase splits the bond between the chromophore 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl and the -D-glucuronide. The formed
E. coli colonies are colored blue to blue green. The growth of accompanying Gram-positive flora is largely inhibited due to the presence of bile salts and the high incubation temperature of 44°C. Some
E. coli (3-4 %) are -D-glucuronidase negative and appear as colorless colonies (e.g. most
E. coli O157 strains) or do not grow at the elevated temperature of 44°C (e.g.
E. coli 0157:H7).
Chromocult® Tryptone Bile X-glucuronide agar is used for the enumeration, detection, and identification of -glucuronidase positive
Escherichia coli from food and feeding stuff, as well as from environmental samples in the area of food production and food handling.

A recovery rate of 50 % is equivalent to a productivity value of 0.5.
The indicated colony counts result from the sum of a triple determination.
