It contains glycerol, mannitol, acetamide, cetrimide, a trace of peptone and phenol red. On this medium incubated at 42°C, nearly all cultures of Ps. aeruginosa, but only very few other bacteria, form colonies or areas of growth surrounded by a red zone. The medium may be used either for the direct enumeration of Ps. aeruginosa or to establish the presence of this organism in liquid enrichment cultures.", }
