Descrizione

General description

GranuCult^® prime MRS agar (de MAN, ROGOSA and SHARPE) is a Lactobacillus selective medium. This medium contains polysorbate, acetate, magnesium, and manganese, which act as special growth factors for Lactobacilli, as well as a rich nutrient base. As the medium exhibits a low degree of selectivity, it may support the growth of Pediococcus and Leuconostoc species and other secondary bacteria.

Application

GranuCult^® prime MRS agar is suitable for isolation, enumeration, and cultivation of Lactobacillus spp. and other mesophilic lactic acid bacteria from all types of materials.

Features and Benefits

• GranuCult^® offers superior granulated culture media.
• Safe and sustainable due to reduced risks associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, resulting in a safer work environment.
• Excellent wettability, solubility, and free-flowing properties
• Convenient, with minimal component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions.
• High batch-to-batch reproducibility
• Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
• High number of test strains exceeding all regulatory demands
• Granulation technology allows many supplements to be included, with no need to add these separately
