Product overview
Liofilchem THERMOAcidURANS Agar Culture Media 610345 is a Liofilchem microbiology product supplied by Kormay Biomedicals. Its practical role is tHERMOACIDURANS AGAR is a medium for isolating and cultivating Bacillus coagulans (Bacillus thermoacidurans) from foods. B. coagulans is a soil microorganism that can be found in canned tomato products and dairy products. Conditions favorable to multiplication of the organism can result in spoilage of the food product. THERMOACIDURANS AGAR can also be used to isolate mesophilic spore-forming anaerobes (Clostridium spp.) from foods.
This product is relevant to surface hygiene and environmental monitoring. It is best positioned for food plants, cleanrooms, cosmetics facilities, and sanitation teams that need a controlled, documentable microbiology workflow rather than a generic consumable.

Where this product fits
This product fits environmental monitoring where repeatable sampling and neutralization are more important than a single isolated result. The lab should connect the medium to surface type, disinfectant residues, incubation plan, alert/action limits, and trend review.
Result signals and confirmation
Observe for the growth of microorganisms. Microorganisms other than B. coagulans may grow on this medium. Perform microscopic examination and biochemical tests to identify to genus and species if necessary.
Method principle
Peptone provides the carbon and nitrogen for general growth requirements. Yeast extract supplies B-complex vitamins which stimulate bacterial growth. Glucose is the carbohydrate source. Agar is the solidifying agent.
