SUCROSE AGAR—A GROWTH MEDIUM FOR SPOILAGE ORGANISMS

Abstract

Sucrose agar is a relatively simple and inexpensive medium which gives good growth of a wide range of cultures of the Lactobacilli and Pediococci encountered in breweries and also of representative strains of other spoilage organisms. It may be used either for general purposes or, when modified to contain specific inhibitors, as a selective medium. 1976 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling
