    Crystal Violet Pectate Medium M1392

    Crystal Violet Pectate Medium is recommended for the cultivation of pectolytic microorganisms, which can degrade sodium
    polypectate in the medium.
    Composition**
    Ingredients Gms / Litre
    Sodium polypectate 18.000
    Sodium hydroxide 0.360
    Sodium nitrate 2.000
    Calcium chloride.H2O 0.600
    Crystal violet 0.0015
    Sodium lauryl sulphate 0.100
    Agar 4.000
    Final pH ( at 25°C) 7.2±0.2
    **Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

    Directions
    Suspend 24.96 grams of dehydrated medium in 1000 ml distilled water. Place on magnetic stirrer with no heat. While stirring,
    ensure each particle is wetted. When all particles are uniformly wetted in suspension, turn heater on and bring to almost boiling
    state with continuous mixing. While hot, check pH and adjust if necessary with 1M NaOH. (Add NaOH drop by drop and do
    not overshoot). Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Cap the flask with aluminum foil rather than cotton plug.
    Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 25 minutes. Avoid foaming and pour into Petri plates as soon as possible
    while hot, (at 50°C) since the medium solidifies quickly and cannot be remelted. Streak or spot inoculate on plates.
    Note: The surface of agar should be completely dry prior to use.

    Principle And Interpretation


    Polypectate or pectate refers to pectic acid with carboxyl groups in the salt form. Pectinolytic organisms refer to the pectin-
    degrading organisms and pectolytic organisms refer to pectic acid or pectate-degrading organisms. Most pectolytic organisms
    are associated with raw agricultural products and with soil (1). This medium contains crystal violet, which makes it selective
    for gram-negative bacteria and prevents growth of unwanted organisms. Polypectate serves as suitable source of carbon for
    polypectate utilizers. Production of enzyme by a culture on this medium is detected either by observing depressions in the gel
    around the colony where the substrate has degraded, or by flooding the plate with a precipitant solution (1% aqueous solution
    of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide can be used as a precipitant). A clear zone will appear around producer colonies
    where the substrate has degraded and thus precipitation does not occur, while non-producing colonies will be surrounded by
    opaque gel containing the non-degraded pectin or pectate substrate. Alternately, to study enzyme activity, holes can be made
    in agar gel plates with a cork borer in order to assay liquid samples, such as culture filtrates. This is referred as well plate or
    cup plate technique for enzyme assays.
