title: TLG medium for pigment detection of staphylococci.
abstract: The semidefined medium (TLG) for carotenoid pigment production of staphylococci consists of 0.3% triacetin, 0.1% sodium lactate and 0.1% glucose in nutrient agar. The TLG is used for harvesting of cells for pigment extraction or, with calcium carbonate added, for colour determination of colonies.
