1. Brightly colored colonies at 24 hours

•  Conventional tests using traditional agar or liquid media can be replaced with one sheet of Easy Plate media.
•  Identification and counting of colonies is easier compared with other media, such as traditional agar, since the colored colonies make it unnecessary to confirm the presence or absence of air bubbles or the size of colonies.

2.High correlation with plate count agar

Colonies of E. coli O157:H7

While most E. coli produce β-glucuronidase, E. coli  O157: H7 does not specifically produce β-glucuronidase, and it therefore exhibits a red-violet color similar to coliform.

 

Coloring of the plate surface caused by enzymes contained in foods

In some unheated foods and dairy products, residual enzymes in the food may cause a red-violet coloring to develop over the entire incubation area. If the visibility of the colonies is affected, improvement can be obtained using dilutions.
