Non-Animal MRS Broth
The Non-Animal version of MRS broth is used primarily for the growth of lactobacilli or lactic acid bacteria via industrial fermentation for use as starter cultures in varying food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical products. By substituting all animal peptones with non-animal equivalents, the regulatory and safety concerns arising from bovine spongiform encephalothopy and related pathologies can be successfully eliminated, making the medium an ideal fermentative formula providing excellent growth.
Available as dehydrated medium: 500 g bottle
The different peptones, glucose, manganese and magnesium salts supply the nutritive elements required for the growth of lactobacilli.
Tween 80 is composed of a mixture of oleic esters and is a source of fatty acids essential for the growth of these bacteria.
Dipotassium phosphate stabilizes the pH during bacterial growth.
Ammonium citrate and sodium acetate inhibit the development of most contaminants, including streptococci and molds.
