Gelatin Medium for Bacterial Liquefaction Testing

Specialized Medium for Detecting Gelatinase Activity
This Gelatin Medium provides a standardized solution for identifying gelatin-liquefying bacteria in clinical and environmental microbiology. Essential for studying proteolytic activity of microorganisms.

Key Properties:

• High gelatin concentration (120g/L) for clear result interpretation

• Refrigerated storage maintains stability for 3 years

• Precisely balanced nutrients for bacterial growth

• Ready-to-prepare powdered formulation

Technical Specifications:
▶ Formula (per liter):
Peptone 5.0g | Beef Extract 3.0g | Gelatin 120.0g
▶ pH: 7.3±0.2 (25°C)
▶ Preparation: 128g/L distilled water, hydrate 20min → boil → sterilize at 115°C for 20min

Critical Notes:
• Requires refrigeration upon receipt
• Natural gelatin particles present in powder
• Solidify tubes upright for proper test formation

Laboratory Applications:

• Differentiation of Bacillus and Clostridium species
