BAT MEDIUM MERCK RENDIMENTO 14,5g/l P/ DETECÇÃO ALICYCLOBACILLUS EMBALAGEM 500G Medium for the detection of Alicyclobacillus in Fruit Juices. Alicyclobacilli are aerobe, gram-positive spore forming bacteria, whose optimum of growth is at low pH value and increased temperatures. Alicyclobacilli are spoilage organisms especially effecting the quality of fruit juices. (CERNY et al. 1984, BAUMGART und MENJE 2000). The Medium complies with First Standard IFU-Method on the Detection of Alicyclobacillus in Fruit Juices (2003). Mode of Action The BAT Medium supports the growth of Alicyclobacilli.The low pH-value in combination with the high incubation temperature inhibit the contaiminating flora in growth.
