“…One disadvantage of brilliant green is the tendency of the dye to lose its selective properties in the presence of high concentrations of organic matter (Browning et al, 1913;Krumwiede and Pratt, 1914;Stark and Curtis, 1936). This becomes important whenever large amounts of organic matter, in the form of test material, are added to the medium.…”

“…They stated that the selenite was not essential in their proposed medium, but was used to maintain the selectivity of the medium when large amounts of organic matter were added. It was shown that brilliant green proportionately loses its inhibitive effect on bacteria in the presence of varied amounts of organic material (Browning, Gilmore, and Mackie, 1913; Krumwiede and Pratt, 1914;Stark and Curtis, 1936). The following investigation was initiated to show the effective inhibition of selected microorganisms by brilliant green in the presence of bile salts.…”

MILLER, V. RICHARD (Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind.), AND GEORGE J. BAN-WART. Effect of various concentrations of brilliant green and bile salts on salmonellae and other microorganisms. Appl. Microbiol. 13:77-80. 1965.-A study of the inhibitory effect of 24 different combinations of brilliant green and bile salts concentrations was conducted, using seven species of microorganisms capable of fermenting mannitol. The inhibitory effect of brilliant green decreased as the bile salts concentration was increased. Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus rettgeri were inhibited by all test media. Escherichia coli was inhibited in all but two combinations of brilliant green and bile salts. Aerobacter aerogenes generally followed a pattern of growth similar to that of three species of salmonellae. Three of the 24 combinations of brilliant green and bile salts showed little or no inhibition of salmonellae but did inhibit the other organisms studied.
