Products<br />
MRS <strong>Broth</strong><br />
Used for the isolation and cultivation<br />
of lactobacilli. MRS <strong>Broth</strong> complies<br />
with the German DIN-Norm 10109<br />
and the International Standard ISO<br />
13721 for the detection of lactosein<br />
meat and to the regulations acc. to §<br />
35 LMBG (06.00/35) for the detection<br />
in meat.<br />
Description:<br />
MRS medium supports luxuriant<br />
growth of all lactobacilli, even the slow<br />
growing species.<br />
Interpretation:<br />
Lactobaccili appear as white colonies.<br />
Pediococcus and Leuconostoc may<br />
also grow on MRS.<br />
Quality Control and recommended<br />
incubation conditions:<br />
Positive control:<br />
Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014<br />
Lactobacillus fermentum ATCC 9338<br />
incubated at 35º C for 48–72 hours.<br />
Negative control:<br />
Not undertaken.<br />
Sterility:<br />
7 days plated sterility test.<br />

Additional information:<br />
The media contains special growth factors for lactobacilli like polysorbate,<br />
acetate, magnesium and manganese. These compounds are known as rich<br />
nutrient base. On a very low degree of selectivity, Pediococcus and Leuconostoc<br />
species and other secondary bacteria can be cultivated.<br />
Historical background:<br />
MRS Agar was developed by de Man, Rogosa & Sharper for the cultivation<br />
of Lactobacillus species. The medium will effectively support the growth of<br />
many strains of lactobacilli that do not generally grow as well as other<br />
media designed for this purpose. Due to the nutritional factors and the<br />
neutral pH other organisms which are not fastidious will grow on the<br />
medium.<br />
Lactobacillus will grow well on the surface of the medium as well as in<br />
deep culture preparations. Although enrichment with carbon dioxide is<br />
unnecessary with this medium, the atmosphere must be kept fairly moist<br />
