Used for the selective isolation and differentiation of Bacillus cereus from food, dairy, and environmental samples. The chromogenic medium allows B. cereus colonies to appear as distinct colored colonies, typically blue or turquoise, enabling rapid identification. This reduces the need for confirmatory tests and speeds up detection in quality control settings. Widely applied in food safety labs to detect contamination in milk, spices, and ready-to-eat meals. Also useful in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for microbial limit testing. The formulation inhibits competing bacteria and fungi, improving accuracy in detecting low levels of B. cereus.
