For isolation and propagation of Actinomycetes from soil and water<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sodium caseinate: 2.0 g\/L
\nL-Asparagine: 0.1 g\/L
\nSodium propionate: 4.0 g\/L
\nDipotassium phosphate: 0.5 g\/L
\nMagnesium sulfate:\u00a0 0.1 g\/L
\nFerrous sulfate: 0.001 g\/L
\nAgar: 15.0 g\/L
\nFinal pH 8.1 +\/- 0.2 at 25\u00b0C<\/p>\n

Store prepared media at 2-8\u00b0C, protected from direct light. Store dehydrated powder, in a dry place, in tightly-sealed containers below 30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Faintly yellow to faint beige to faint brown colored, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
\nColour and Clarity<\/strong>: Light yellow to light brown colored, clear to very hazy gel forms in petri plates.<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nSuspend 22 g in 1 litre distilled water containing 5 ml glycerol (Sigma 49767). Boil to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121\u00b0C for 15 minutes<\/p>\n

Principle and Interpretation<\/strong>
\nActinomycetes are gram-positive bacteria, which show marked chemical and morphological diversity but form a distinct evolutionary line of organisms that range from coccoid and pleomorphic forms to branched filaments (1). Actinomycetes form an integral part of soil, water and vegetation.
\nActinomycete development leads to the formation of volatile metabolites(2). Traces of these volatile metabolites are sufficient to impart disagreeable odour to water or a muddy flavour to fish (3). Actinomycetes also cause disruptions in wastewater treatment by forming massive growths, which are capable of producing thick foam in the activated sludge process (4, 5). Actinomyces Isolation Agar
\nused for isolation and propagation of Actinomycetes from soil and water was formulated by Olsen (6).
\nActinomycete Isolation Agar contains sodium caseinate as nitrogen source. Asparagine in addition to being an amino acid is also a source of nitrogen. Sodium propionate is used as a substrate in anaerobic
\nfermentation. Dipotassium phosphate provides the buffering system. The sulphates serve as source of sulphur and metallic ions. Glycerol serves as an additional source of carbon.
\nInoculate the plates with 1 drop of diluted culture or specimen and spread over the surface using a sterile bent glass rod. Incubate at 35-37\u00b0C for 40-72 hours. The media can be used for long term storage after sufficient growth is obtained. Agar slants are used for maintenance of cultures over a shorter period of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
