Thermo Scientific™ Hippurate Broth (3mL)

Description

• Determine the ability of an organism to hydrolyze sodium hippurate by enzymatic action using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Hippurate Broth
• Heart muscle infusion and animal tissue peptone supply the variety of nutrients required for the growth of the majority of bacterial species
• Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium
• In 1922, Ayers and Rupp used an enriched medium containing hippuric acid to investigate the ability of bovine and human β-hemolytic streptococci to split hippuric acid into benzoic acid and glycine 1
• In 1951, Leuthardt described hippuricase, the enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of hippurate 2
• Requires: Hippurate Hydrolysis Reagent (12% Ferric Chloride), Part No
