MRS Broth
MRS Broth is used for the growth and enumeration of lactobacilli in food products. By transferring isolated colonies, luxuriant subcultures can be obtained. The medium can also be used to culture slowly-growing lactobacilli such as Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus fermentum.
Available as dehydrated medium : 500 g bottle and 5kg bucket
In compliance with regulatory requirements, a USDA permit (VS 16-3) is mandatory for shipments from Canada to the USA due to the inclusion of peptone, an animal byproduct.
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.
