Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar (VRBG)
Request InfoViolet Red Bile Glucose Agar contains peptone to provide vitamins and minerals, as well as a carbon and nitrogen source. Yeast extract promotes bacterial growth by supplying B-complex vitamins. Glucose provides a carbohydrate source. Bile salts and crystal violet aid in the inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria. Neutral red is a pH indicator in which glucose-fermenters will produce red colonies and halos (due to bile precipitation). Sodium chloride conserves osmotic balance. Agar is a solidifying agent.
