Isolation Medium for Iron Bacteria – HX-MEDIA

Name: Isolation Medium for Iron Bacteria - HX-MEDIA
SKU: HXM-IMIB-01
Availability: InStock

Principle :- This medium is used for isolation of iron bacteria like Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix group. Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix is filamentous bacteria, form sheath deposited with ferric hydroxide and manganese dioxide. The specific deposition of ferric ions on the sheath of S. discophorus was demonstrated by Rogers and Anderson (1976). Iron bacteria obtain energy by the oxidation of iron from the ferrous to ferric state. Some bacteria that do not oxidize ferrous ions may dissolve or deposit it indirectly. During their growth, they either liberate iron by consuming organic radicals to which the iron is attached, or adjust environmental conditions to permit the deposition of iron.

Use :- Recommended for isolation of iron bacteria like Sphaerotilus-Liptothrix group.
