Principle And Interpretation
Pantothenate Inoculum Broth is prepared based on the formula originally designed by Kulp and White (1) and later on modified and recommended by AOAC (2) for cultivating Lactobacilli used in microbiological assays. Kulp and White developed this medium for plating Lactobacillus acidophilus and obtained high recovery of Lactobacilli (1).
Peptonized milk contains lactose, which serves as the energy source for Lactobacilli. Dextrose serves as the fermentable carbohydrate and/or energy source. Yeast extract and peptone (of peptonized milk) provide vitamin B complex, nitrogenous compounds and trace ingredients for the growth. Tomato juice provides an acid environment in the medium resulting in inhibition of microorganisms other than acidophilic bacteria. Polysorbate 80 supplies fatty acids required for the metabolism of Lactobacilli.
