Directions 

Suspend 40.0 gms. in 1000 ml. distilled water. Boil to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. If the solidified culture medium is somewhat too red, then to remove the colour, add few drops (Max. 1 ml/lit.) of a freshly prepared 10% sulphite solution and boil.
