Dissolve 65.00 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs.
pressure (121°C) for 15 min, cool it to 42-45 °C and distribute aseptically in to the petri plates
and allow to solidify. Ensure complete solidification and inoculate test sample aseptically.
High contaminated samples and the selectivity of medium can be enhanced by adding
Cycloheximide 400mg and Chloramphenicol 50mg per litre after sterilization.
