This medium is designed to detect and differentiate coliform bacteria in water, food, and environmental samples. It contains a chromogenic substrate that, when hydrolyzed by specific enzymes (for example, beta-galactosidase or beta-glucuronidase) from coliforms, produces colonies with distinctive colors. This facilitates visual identification and confirmation of the presence of coliform bacteria. It is very useful for monitoring water quality, ensuring sanitation in production environments, and controlling contamination in industrial processes, especially in the food and beverage sectors.
