    Description

    Oxoid™ MRS Agar (500g) is a selective medium designed for the isolation and enumeration of lactic acid bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus species, from various samples, including food, clinical, and environmental specimens. The medium is enriched with nutrients that support the growth of lactic acid bacteria, which are essential in dairy production and other fermented products. MRS Agar is ideal for differentiating and isolating these bacteria due to its ability to encourage fermentation while inhibiting the growth of most other microorganisms.

    Key Features:

    • Form: Dehydrated powder
    • Weight: 500g
    • Application: Isolation and enumeration of lactic acid bacteria, especially Lactobacillus species
    • Composition: Contains peptones, glucose, sodium acetate, and other nutrients to support the growth of lactic acid bacteria; agar provides a solid surface for colony formation
    • Preparation: Suspend 55g of the dehydrated medium in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
    • Yield: Approximately 9 litres of prepared medium
    • Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
    • Compliance: Suitable for use in microbiological testing protocols for the isolation and enumeration of lactic acid bacteria
