M-17 肉汤

M-17 Broth is a selective medium for Streptococcus thermophilus in the common examination of yoghurt. It is superior to other comparable culture media for the cultivation of the fastidious species such as S. cremoris, S. diacetilactis and S. lactis. Mutants which are incapable of metabolizing lactose can also be isolated on these media. Tryptone, meat peptone, soya peptone, yeast extract and meat extract provide carbonaceous, nitrogenous compounds, vitamin B complex and other essential growth factors. Lactose is the fermentable carbohydrate and ascorbic acid is stimulatory for the growth of lactic Streptococci. Magnesium sulphate provides essential ions to the organisms. Sodium glycerophosphate increases the buffering capacity of the medium, this promotes the growth of lactic streptococci and inhibits lactobacilli growth.

M-17 Broth is a selective medium for Streptococcus thermophilus for examination of yogurt and for the enrichment Streptococcus thermophilus in the dairy industry.
