Deoxycholate agar contains peptone to provide nitrogen, vitamins, carbon, amino acids, and other nutrients to support the growth of microorganisms. Lactose is a fermentable carbohydrate. Sodium chloride and dipotassium phosphate maintain the osmotic balance. Sodium deoxycholate and ammonium iron citrate inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Neutral red is a pH indicator. Agar acts as the solidifying agent.Fermentation of lactose is the basis for the differentiation of enteric bacteria. Lactose-positive bacteria, like coliform bacteria, produce acid from lactose and form red colonies. Lactose-negative bacteria, such as Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp., form colorless colonies.
應用
Deoxycholate Agar is a selective and differential plating medium for the isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacteria.

Edema factor (EF) and CyaA are adenylyl cyclase toxins secreted by pathogenic bacteria that cause anthrax and whooping cough, respectively. Using the structure of the catalytic site of EF, we screened a data base of commercially available, small molecular weight
Dehydrated culture media for cultivating Shigella come in granules that dissolve in water. Granulation of the media ensures homogenous distribution, which avoids clumping even in warm and humid conditions.
