DEV GELATIN AGAR (GELATIN DEV AGAR)

Gelatin, a protein derivative of animal collagen is incorporated into various media to determine an organism?s ability to produce proteolytic type enzyme (proteinase) detected by digestion or liquefaction of the gelatin. Gelatinase is a pepsin, which hydrolyses gelatin to polypeptides, peptides and amino acids. Gelatin DEV Agar is used to determine the total microbial count and for detecting gelatin liquefying microorganisms in water as per the German Drinking Water Regulations, 1990.
