c.d.v agar c.d.v agar c.d.v. agar is a nutrient medium prepared using cicer arietinum (bengal gram), daucus carota (carrot) and vigna radiata (green gram) by vinay j. rao and keshava murthy p. at surana college, bangalore, india under the guidance of their botany lecturers, b. r. chandrashekarappa (h.o.d.- dept. of botany), sharada h.c., and with the aid of their classmates from vijaya college, bangalore. so far, cdv agar has been tried only on e. coli. attempts will be made to try the medium on other organisms as well. the nutrient has been prepared in order to counter the discomfort of using materials such as peptone, beef extract, and yeast extract. abstract as with higher organisms, lower organisms also depend on nutrition for their survival. as a result, many microbiologists have proposed various sources of nutrition for proper microbial growth. most nutrient media consist of animal products, the use of which is considered unethical by some. here, an attempt has been made to substitute for animal products with some plant products. the medium was prepared in two sets; one was autoclaved before pouring, while the other was heated to around 60 °c to conserve the proteins, which might have denatured at a higher temperature. the results obtained were very satisfactory; solitary colonies were observed in the plates with the autoclaved agar, while the heated agar gave a larger surface area of e. coli. the above-mentioned plants were taken for this experiment due to their biochemical contents and the contents of ordinary agar. in this recipe, the chick pea replaces peptone; for a protein source, green gram replaces beef extract; for another protein source, carrot replaces yeast extract. all these plants contain proteins and carbohydrates, along with other essential biochemicals in sufficient amounts. presented at teqip ii sponsored national conference, organized by dept. of biotechnology, pes institute of technology, bangalore on 12th-13th sept 2013. growth media / agar platesselective mediagram positiveactinomycetota mycobacterium tuberculosis löwenstein–jensen medium middlebrook 7h9 broth middlebrook 7h10 agar middlebrook 7h11 agar mycoplasma pneumoniae eaton's agar bacillota corynebacterium diphtheriae hoyle's agar enterococcus bile esculin agar lactobacillus lee's agar mrs agar lactococcus m17 agar listeria fraser broth palcam staphylococcus mannitol salt agar baird-parker agar vogel–johnson agar gram negativealphaproteobacteria brucella brucella agar farrell's medium betaproteobacteria neisseria thayer–martin agar new york city agar gammaproteobacteria bordetella bordet–gengou agar enterobacteriaceae vrbd agar haemophilus influenzae/legionella pneumophila buffered charcoal yeast extract agar pseudomonas aeruginosa cetrimide agar salmonella xlt agar dca agar salmonella/shigella xld agar differential media lactose fermenting gram negative macconkey agar/sorbitol-macconkey agar eosin methylene blue hektoen enteric agar sulfur bismuth sulfite agar fungal media baf agar czapek medium dermatophyte test medium malt extract agar mmn medium potato dextrose agar sabouraud agar yepd ym nonselective media blood agar chocolate agar columbia blood agar letheen broth nutrient agar plate count agar other/ungrouped media brain heart infusion c.d.v agar cystine–lactose–electrolyte-deficient agar cystine tryptic agar endo agar lauryl tryptose broth lysine iron agar lysogeny broth mueller–hinton agar/pnp agar r2a agar simmons' citrate agar trypticase soy agar tryptic soy broth tsi slant this article is issued from wikipedia. the text is licensed under creative commons - attribution - sharealike. additional terms may apply for the media files.
