Product Description & Summary
PYG FF is a non-selective broth medium that was formulated by the VPI group for use in chromatographic analysis of cellular fatty acids and short chain fatty acid end products from the fermentation of glucose and utilization/stimulation by formate/fumarate. This analysis is useful in the identification of clinically significant anaerobic bacteria, like Campylobacter ureolyticus. This media is prepared, dispensed, and packaged under oxygen-free conditions to prevent the formation of oxidized products prior to use.
Interpretation of Results & Limitations
Uninoculated PY based broths should show only trace amounts, if any, of volatile and nonvolatile fatty acids when tested with gas liquid chromatography.
Quality Control
The following organisms are routinely used for quality assurance performance testing, for growth and the fermentation of glucose, at Anaerobe Systems. Formate/Fumarate utilization is determined on the basis of growth stimulation when compared to Peptone Yeast Extract Broth w/ Glucose (PYG).
