Acetate Agar

Principle
Acetate agar is formulated by Whittenbury (1965) used for cultivation of Leuconostoc and Pediococcus species.
The media is consisting of peptone, meat extract, yeast extract, dextrose, polysorbate 80, sodium acetate and
agar. Peptone yeast extract and meat extract provide nitrogen, amino acids and essential elements required for
the growth of organisms. Dextrose is the source of energy and sodium acetate is carbon source. Polysorbate 80
maintains the surface tension of the medium.
Use: Recommended for the isolation and cultivation of Leuconostoc and Pediococcus species.
