General description

This MRS Agar is free of animal derived material. It is recommended for the isolation and cultivation of Lactobacillus species.

Application

MRS Agar, Vegitone has been used for culturing yogurt to analyze lactic acid bacteria (LAB). It has also been used in culturing of Lactobacillus reuteri colonies.
