Starch Hydrolysis Medium for Bacterial Starch Hydrolysis Testing

Starch Hydrolysis Medium is a dry powder culture medium containing 3% soluble starch, designed for bacterial starch hydrolysis assays. This product supports the detection of amylase-producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, and Corynebacterium diphtheriae in microbiological testing.

Key Features:

• Purpose: Starch hydrolysis testing for amylase activity.

• Format: Dry powder (250g/bottle).

• Shelf Life: 3 years at room temperature.

• Usage: Dissolve 63g in 1L distilled water, sterilize at 115°C for 30 minutes, shake well to prevent sedimentation, and pour into plates after cooling to 50–55°C. Optional sheep blood can be added post-sterilization for specific tests.

Applications:

• Clinical microbiology labs.

• Food safety and dairy product testing.

• Academic and industrial bacterial characterization.
