Application

ECC ChromoSelect Agar is a differential medium recommended for the presumptive identification of Escherichia coli and other coliforms in food and environmental samples. The chromogenic mixture containstwo chromogens as X-glucuronide and Salmon-GAL. X-glucuronide is cleaved by the enzyme beta glucuronidase produced by Escherichia coli. Salmon-GAL is cleaved by the enzyme galactosidase produced by majority of coliforns, including Escherichia coli. Color of E. coli colonies: blue/purple
