Question
Chapter 52, Problem 1CT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason for not inoculating MUG agar and bypassing the lactose broth.
Introduction:
To confirm the presence of coliform in water, MUG test is done. MUG, 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucuronide, is used for the MUG media. The water sample under test is grown in this media. If coliform bacteria are present in water sample then it will grow fluorescent colonies in the agar.
