GVS EC Broth with MUG (4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucuronide) is a powerful, fluorogenic medium used for the detection of Escherichia coli in water, milk, and food samples. When hydrolyzed by the enzyme β-glucuronidase—commonly found in E. coli—the MUG substrate produces a fluorescent product, eliminating the need for further confirmation steps.

EC Broth with MUG – Rapid Fluorescent Detection of E. coli

This ready-to-use medium enhances sensitivity by detecting anaerogenic strains that might be missed by traditional methods, making it ideal for critical applications requiring rapid and reliable results.

Features:

Fluorogenic detection of E. coli using UV light (long-wave)
Detects anaerogenic strains not identified by conventional media
MUG substrate produces distinct fluorescence for easy confirmation
Casein peptone and lactose support robust bacterial growth
Pre-filled 9 mL vials reduce handling time and contamination risk

EC Broth with MUG - The presence of fluorescence using a long-wave UV light source confirms the presence of Escherichia coli and no further confirmation is required. MUG detects anaerogenic strains, which may not be detected in the conventional procedure. Lactose is a source of energy. Casein peptone provides additional nutrients. The mixture of bile salts is inhibiting for gram-positive bacteria, particularly bacilli and fecal streptococci. The substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-Dglucuronide is hydrolyzed by an enzyme, b-glucuronidase, possessed by most Escherichia coli and a few strains of Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia, to produce a fluorescent end product, 4methylumbelliferone.

The gold standard for rapid, fluorescence-based E. coli detection in water quality testing, dairy labs, and food microbiology.
