M17 Broth

Catalog Number: AS-1281
 
M17 Broth is a specialized growth medium designed for the cultivation and enumeration of lactic acid bacteria, particularly Streptococcus thermophilus. It provides essential nutrients, including peptones, lactose, and ascorbic acid, to support the growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria in microbiological and dairy research.
The medium is widely used in the dairy industry and food microbiology for studying starter cultures, fermentation processes, and bacterial performance in milk-based products. It promotes the robust growth of Streptococcus thermophilus, which plays a key role in yogurt and cheese production.
 
Key Features:
Optimized for lactic acid bacteria growth, especially S. thermophilus.
Ideal for dairy product testing and starter culture studies.
Nutrient-rich formula with lactose as a carbohydrate source.
Suitable for microbiological and fermentation research.
 
Applications:
Cultivation and enumeration of lactic acid bacteria.
Dairy fermentation studies, including yogurt and cheese production.
Starter culture performance evaluation.
Microbiological research in food science.
 
Storage:
