Description
MRS Agar is the premier choice for microbiologists focused on isolating and counting lactic acid bacteria in various food products. As a well-established culture medium, MRS Agar supports the growth of beneficial lactic acid bacteria essential for fermentation processes in yogurt, cheese, and other fermented foods.
Key Features:
- Rich Nutrient Composition: Formulated with 10.0 g/L peptic digest of animal tissue, 8.0 g/L beef extract, and 4.0 g/L yeast extract powder, MRS Agar provides a nutrient-rich environment that enhances bacterial growth.
- High Glucose Content: With 20.0 g/L glucose, this medium acts as an excellent carbon source, promoting vigorous fermentation and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria.
- Balanced pH: MRS Agar maintains a final pH of 6.5 ± 0.2 at 25°C, thanks to the inclusion of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, hydrogen diammonium citrate, and sodium acetate, ensuring optimal conditions for bacterial activity.
- Trace Elements: The addition of magnesium sulfate (0.2 g/L) and manganese sulfate (0.04 g/L) supports essential enzymatic functions crucial for effective growth and metabolism.
- Easy Preparation: To prepare, simply suspend 66.2 g of MRS Agar in 1L of distilled water and sterilize in an autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes. This straightforward method allows for quick and efficient lab use.
Applications: Ideal for food safety testing, quality control, and microbiological research, MRS Agar is used extensively in laboratories to detect and enumerate lactic acid bacteria in dairy products, fermented foods, and beverages.
Why Choose MRS Agar? With its high-quality formulation and proven effectiveness, MRS Agar is a trusted solution for professionals in food microbiology. Enhance your testing accuracy and reliability with this superior culture medium designed to meet the rigorous demands of laboratory environments.
