Suitability of MRS-bile Agar for the Selective Enumeration of Mixed Probiotic Bacteria in Presence of Mesophilic Lactic Acid Cultures and Yoghurt Bacteria
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Measuring the viability of probiotic microorganisms in food products using plate count methodology is a common practice due to the simplicity (ease of performance), inexpensive and routine testing characters ofthis method. In present study, the suitability of de man rogosa and sharpe agar (MRS) bile agar medium forthe selective enumeration of mixed probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5, L. casei 431 andBifidobacterium lactis BB-12) in presence of mesophilic lactic cultures (Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactisand Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris) and yoghurt bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus) was investigated. Yoghurt bacteria did not grow neither in presence of 0.15% nor 0.30% of bile salts, as was expected. Mesophilic lactic starters could grow at both concentrations of bile salts at all incubation temperatures except 37°C. According to these results, MRS-bile agar (0.15 bile salts) could be successfully used for selective enumeration of mixed probiotic cultures in presence of mesophilic culture and/or yoghurt bacteria when plates were incubated at 37°C for 72 h.

The tested strain was able to survive both in the presence of 0.3% bile salts for 5h and in the acidified MRS broth with pH 2.0 for 2h, the rate of viability being by 78% and 76% respectively. The presence of pepsin with a view ...
