Principle And Interpretation
Pantothenate Inoculum HiVeg Broth medium is prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate No. 3 in place of Peptonized milk which is free from BSE/TSE risks associated with animal based peptones. This can be used for the same purpose of 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. This medium can also be used for plating Lactobacillus acidophilus and obtained high recovery of Lactobacilli.
HiVeg™ hydrolysate No. 3 serves as the energy source for Lactobacilli species. Dextrose serves as the fermentable carbohydrate and/or energy source. Yeast extract and HiVeg hydrolysate No.3 provides vitamin B complex, nitrogenous compounds and trace ingredients for the growth. Polysorbate 80 supplies fatty acids required for the metabolism of Lactobacilli. 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.
