NEOGEN MRS Agar, 500 g
Supplier: NEOGEN 700004601
MRS Agar is a medium for the enumeration of mesophilic lactic acid bacteria according to ISO 15214:1998, and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. MRS Agar was originally developed in 1960 by de Man, Rogosa & Sharpe for the cultivation and enumeration of Lactobacillus spp. from various sources and is intended as a substitute for Tomato Juice Agar. This original formulation has been adapted and adjusted to pH 5.7 according to ISO 15214:1998. Nutrition is provided by enzymatic digest of casein, glucose, meat & yeast extracts whilst polyoxyethylenesorbitan monooleate, magnesium and manganese sulphates act as growth stimulants. Selectivity against streptococci & molds is provided by ammonium citrate and sodium acetate. Used at low pH, ammonium citrate allows growth of lactobacilli whilst inhibiting a number of other organism groups.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/mrs-agar
