Principle

Iron sulphite agar is composed of tryptone, sodium sulphite, Ferric citrate and agar. Tryptone provides nitrogen and other trace nutrients for the growth of bacteria. Sodium sulphite is selective agent and sulphite source. Ferric citrate is sulphite reduction indicator. The sulphite reducing bacteria reduce sulphite to sulphide, which react with iron salt and forms black color complex. Since the sulphite reducing bacteria forms black color colonies. Agar is solidifying agent.

Use: Recommended for detection of anaerobic sulphide spoilage causing microorganism in food.
