Overview
Eugon Agar is a rich medium designed for nutritionally demanding organisms; the name comes from eugonic, meaning luxuriant growth. Tryptone and soy peptone supply abundant peptides and amino acids, glucose is the carbon source, and sodium sulphite with L-cystine lowers the redox potential for organisms that prefer a reduced environment. It is used to cultivate lactobacilli, Brucella and other fastidious bacteria and yeasts, and for propagation when large cell mass is needed.
Choosing a general-purpose or enumeration medium
Plate Count Agar is used for total viable counts in food, water, and environmental samples. Nutrient Broth and Tryptic Soy media are the general-purpose choices for non-fastidious bacteria, with the latter richer and also used for sterility testing and environmental monitoring. Brain Heart Infusion is the richest of the three and suits fastidious organisms such as streptococci. Use the agar form for enumeration and the broth for propagation.
