BHI W/ 6.5% NaCL (BRAIN HEART INFUSION BROTH WITH 6.5 % NaCL)

Description

Brain Heart Infusion Medium is useful for cultivating a wide variety of microorganisms since it is a highly nutritive medium. Brain Heart Infusion Broth is a modification of the original formulation of Rosenow, where he added pieces of brain tissues to dextrose broth. BHI Broth with 6.5 % NaCl is employed for the selective cultivation of salt tolerant microorganisms. High concentration of sodium chloride acts as a differential and/or selective agent by interfering with membrane permeability and osmotic and electro kinetic equilibrium in salt intolerant organisms.
