Oxoid™ MRS Agar (ISO) (500g) is a selective medium used for the isolation and enumeration of Lactobacillus species from food, dairy products, and environmental samples. This medium is formulated according to ISO 15214 standards, offering a reliable method for the selective growth of Lactobacillus while inhibiting the growth of most other microorganisms. It supports the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria, particularly those that require enriched conditions.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Isolation and enumeration of Lactobacillus species from food, dairy products, and environmental samples, in accordance with ISO 15214 standards
• Composition: Contains nutrients such as peptones, glucose, and sodium acetate, along with selective agents to suppress the growth of non-lactic acid bacteria
• Preparation: Suspend 55g in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
• Yield: Approximately 9.1 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Complies with ISO 15214 for the isolation of Lactobacillus species in microbiological testing
