Quantity on preparation (500g) :

  • (MV1087) : 14.06 L
  • (MV1086) : 24.39 L

pH (25°C) : 7.0 ± 0.2

Directions

Suspend 35.56 grams of MV1087 and 20.5 grams of MV1086 in 1000 ml distilled water. Add 1 gram of polysorbate 80. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle and Interpretation

These media are prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate and HiVeg acid hydrolysate in place of Casein enzymic hydrolysate and Casein acid hydrolysate respectively which make the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Lactic Bacteria Differential HiVeg Media are the modifications of Lactic Bacteria Differential Media which are formulated as per McDonald et al (1) for differentiation of homofermentative Lactobacilli and heterofermentative Streptococci. Lactobacilli and Streptococci are used as starter cultures in food and dairy industry. Streptococci grow first and produce metabolites, lowering redox potential which enables Lactobacilli to grow. Lactobacilli synthesize products which stimulate growth of Streptococci. Medium constituents like HiVeg acid hydrolysates, Papaic digest of soyabean meal and yeast extract supply all the necessary nutrients for the growth of lactic bacteria. Fructose is the fermentable carbohydrate in the medium. Bromo cresol green is the pH indicator.

Heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria produce CO₂, lactic acid, acetic acid, ethanol and mannitol. Homofermentative lactic acid bacteria produce only lactic acid from fructose and is indicated by the yellow colour formation. Heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria induce lesser acidification and thus vary in the colour formation by the indicator in the medium. Homofermentative bacteria cultivated on this medium form bluish-green colonies on agar while heterofermentative bacteria do not form much coloured colonies on agar surface.

Quality Control

Appearance of Powder

Bluish grey coloured, homogeneous, free flowing powder.

Gelling

Firm, comparable with 1.5% Agar gel of MV1087.

Colour and Clarity

Blue coloured, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in petri plates, clear solution in tubes.

Reaction

Reaction of 3.56% w/v of MV1087 or 2.05% w/v of MV1086 aqueous solution is pH 7.0 ± 0.2 at 25°C.

Cultural Response

Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 18-48 hours.

Organisms (ATCC) Inoculum (CFU) Growth Recovery Colour of Colony
Lactobacillus casei (9595) 102–103 luxuriant >70% green
Lactobacillus plantarum (8014) 102–103 luxuriant >70% green
Streptococcus thermophilus (14485)* 102–103 luxuriant >70% bluish-green
Streptococcus cremoris (19257)** 102–103 luxuriant >70% blue

Key : * = incubated at 45°C

** = incubated at 30°C
