TM Media supplies MF-ENDO Broth. MF-ENDO Broth was initially created by Millipore for the purpose of selectively isolating coliforms from water and other specimens through the membrane filtration technique. This medium is used for the selective isolation of Lactose-positive coliforms. The medium contains various nutrients such as Tryptose, meat peptone, casein peptone, and yeast extract, which provide the bacteria with carbon, nitrogen, vitamins, minerals, and B-complex vitamins. Lactose is the fermentable sugar, and lactose-positive colonies are red in colour due to the production of acetaldehyde that reacts with sodium sulfite and fuchsin to form red colonies. Sodium sulfite is used to decolourize the basic fuchsin solution by building the compound fuchsin-sulfate. Lactose-positive coliforms produce a metallic sheen when they rapidly ferment lactose and produce aldehydes. However, if the inoculum is too heavy, the sheen may be suppressed.
