Description
BD LBS Agar is used for the isolation and enumeration of lactobacilli from foods, dairy products, and human intestinal, vaginal, and dental floras.
- LBS Agar is more selective in preventing the overgrowth of moulds, streptococci and spreading organisms than tomato juice agar
- Casein peptone, yeast extract, and ammonium salt provide nitrogen
- Polysorbate 80 supplies fatty acids necessary for the growth of lactobacilli
- Manganese and magnesium are growth factors
- Glucose is a universal energy and carbon source
- Ammonium citrate, sodium acetate, acetic acid and ferrous sulfate act as inhibitors of streptococci and other contaminating organisms and provide the low pH which is tolerated by lactobacilli but not by many other organisms
- Phosphate, together with acetate and acetic acid, stabilizes the pH
Supplied in ready to use Stacker™ plates
- Prepared plated media are ready for immediate use
- Microbiologically controlled for uncompromised isolation of microorganisms
- Specialized lid and bottom allow plates to interlock and stack without slipping
- Specially engineered design easily separates without agitating the sample
