De Man–Rogosa–Sharpe agar, often abbreviated to MRS, is a selective culture medium designed to favour the luxuriant growth of Lactobacilli for lab study. Developed in 1960, this medium was named for its inventors, Johannes Cornelis de Man [ Wikidata ] , Morrison Rogosa [ Wikidata ] , and Margaret Elisabeth Sharpe [ Wikidata ] .
Casein nutrient agar (CN) is a growth medium used to culture isolates of lactic acid bacteria such as Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. It is composed of standard nutrient agar with the added ingredient of skim milk powder, which contains casein. Lactic Acid Bacteria will precipitate casein out of the agar by lowering the ...
The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are either rod-shaped (), or spherical (), and are characterized by an increased tolerance to acidity (low pH range).This aspect helps LAB to outcompete other bacteria in a natural fermentation, as they can withstand the increased acidity from organic acid production (e.g., lactic acid).
This bacterial growth medium was developed in 1971 for Lactococcus species isolated from milk products. It was originally called M16 medium, [ 1 ] but in 1975 Terzaghi and Sandine [ 2 ] added disodium- β-glycerophosphate to the medium as a buffer, and named the new growth medium M17 medium.
A SCOBY used for brewing kombucha Kombucha co-culture with SCOBY biofilm. Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) is a culinary symbiotic fermentation culture consisting of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), acetic acid bacteria (AAB), and yeast which arises in the preparation of sour foods and beverages such as kombucha.

Pathway by which glucose is converted to lactic acid as a means of energy production. L. acidophilus is a homofermentative anaerobic microorganism, meaning it only produces lactic acid as an end product of fermentation; and that it can only ferment hexoses (not pentoses) by way of the EMP pathway (glycolysis). [5]
Leuconostoc lactis is a Gram-positive, non-motile, lactic acid bacterium that thrive best in acidic conditions and moderate temperatures. [2] [1] L. lactis is capable of acidifying culture media through lactose fermentation to pH levels of 4.0-4.1, and milk to levels below 5.4. [4]
Like other growth media, the formulations of agar used in plates may be classified as either "defined" or "undefined"; a defined medium is synthesized from individual chemicals required by the organism so the exact molecular composition is known, whereas an undefined medium is made from natural products such as yeast extract, where the precise ...
