E. coli colonies produce blue-green coloration via hydrolysis of X-glucuronide substrate. Compliant with ISO 16649. Suitable for water testing, food microbiology, environmental monitoring, membrane filtration and pour plate methods. Equivalent to Oxoid TBX Agar (CM0945), BD Difco TBX Agar, and Merck TBX Agar (1.05267). Available with full COA, TDS, and SDS documentation.

First, bile salts suppress the growth of Gram-positive organisms by disrupting their cytoplasmic membranes, providing selective enrichment of Gram-negative enteric bacteria. Second, the chromogenic substrate X-glucuronide (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-glucuronide) is hydrolysed by β-glucuronidase (encoded by the \u003cem\u003euidA\u003c\/em\u003e gene), an enzyme constitutively expressed by approximately 94–97% of \u003cem\u003eE. coli\u003c\/em\u003e strains at 44°C. The released indoxyl moiety spontaneously dimerises and oxidises to form an insoluble blue-green dye (5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-dichloro-indigo), precipitating at the colony site and providing direct visual confirmation of \u003cem\u003eE. coli\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLiterature References\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManafi, M., \u0026amp; Ossmer, R.
