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 />
