Suspend Directions 51.5 grams of in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving

Principle And Interpretation Skim Milk Agar. Is used for the demonstration of coagulation and proteolysis of casein (1). The medium is recommended by
.APHA (2) for cultivation and enumeration of microorganisms encountered in dairy industry (3). Addition of skim milk to. Any
nutrient-rich medium creates favourable conditions for growth, of organisms which are encountered in milk. The number. Of
bacteria isolated thus is more than the number of organisms isolated on a regular medium (4). Proteolytic bacteria hydrolyze
.Casein to form soluble nitrogenous compounds indicated as clear zone surrounding the colonies. More clear zones are seen. On
milk, agar if the bacteria produce acid from fermentable carbohydrates in the medium.
Casein enzymic hydrolysate provides. Amino acids and other complex nitrogenous substances. Yeast Extract supplies vitamin B
complex.Addition of skim milk in the medium makes the conditions optimal for microorganisms encountered in milk. Glucose
acts. As the carbon source.
Quality Control Appearance Cream to yellow homogeneous free flowing powder
, Gelling Firm comparable. With 1.5% Agar gel
Colour and Clarity of prepared medium
Off white coloured opaque gel forms in Petri plates
, Reaction Reaction Of 5.15% w / V aqueous solution at 25 ° C. PH: 7.0 edge 0.2
pH 6.80-7.20 Cultural Response M763: Cultural characteristics observed after. An incubation at 35-37 ° C.
