NUTRIENT GELATIN

Nutrient Gelatin is prepared as per the formulation formerly used in the examination of water, sewage and other materials of sanitary importance. Gelatin liquefaction is one of the essential test for the differentiation of enteric bacilli. This medium can also be used for the microbial plate counts of water. Nutrient Gelatin Medium is not recommended for determination of gelatin liquefaction by fastidious species and obligate anaerobes. At various intervals during the incubation process, examine the tubes for growth and liquefaction. At each interval, tighten the caps and transfer the tubes to refrigerator for sufficient time period to determine whether liquefaction has occurred or not.
