Overview

Brilliant Green is a cationic triphenylmethane dye widely used in microbiological culture media and laboratory applications. It is primarily employed as a selective inhibitory dye in media formulations designed to suppress Gram-positive bacteria while allowing selective growth of target Gram-negative organisms.

In microbiology, Brilliant Green is a key component of selective media such as Brilliant Green Agar and Brilliant Green Broth, commonly used for the isolation of Salmonella species from food and environmental samples.
