Directions
Suspend 55.15 grams in 1000 ml purified / distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Distribute in tubes, bottles or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
Lactobacilli MRS media are based on the formulation of deMan, Rogosa and Sharpe (1) with slight modification. It supports luxuriant growth of all Lactobacilli from oral cavity (2), dairy products (3), foods (2), faeces (4,5) and other sources (6).
Lactobacillus MRS HiVeg® Broth (MRS HiVeg® Broth) is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks. HiVeg® peptone No. 3 and HiVeg® extract supply nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds. Yeast extract provides vitamin B complex and dextrose is the fermentable carbohydrate and energy source. Polysorbate 80 supplies fatty acids required for the metabolism of Lactobacilli. Sodium acetate and ammonium citrate inhibit Streptococci, moulds and many other microorganisms.
Type of specimen
Food and dairy samples
Specimen Collection and Handling:
For food and dairy samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection and processing as per guidelines (2,7,8). After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.

Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations :
- Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium.
- Each lot of the medium has been tested for the organisms specified on the COA. It is recommended to users to validate the medium for any specific microorganism other than mentioned in the COA based on the user's unique requirement.
- Further biochemical and serological tests must be carried out for further identification.
