LACTOBACILLI SELECTION OXGALL AGAR BASE *

Description

Lactobacilli grow in a variety of habitats, wherever high levels of soluble carbohydrate, protein background products, vitamins and a low oxygen tension occur. These sites include the oral cavity, the intestinal tract, the vagina, food products and dairy products. Lactobacillus Selection Oxgall Agar Base, formulated by Gilliland and Speck is recommended by APHA for the isolation and enumeration of lactobacilli. Lactobacillus Selection Oxgall Agar Base is similar in composition to Lactobacillus Selection Agar Base, the only difference being the additional oxgall added to the former.
