Stability of Ready-to-Use and Laboratory-Prepared Culture Media by S. I. Kuleshova, S. A. Protsak, S. A. Lisunova, G. Yu. Romanyuk

“…The culture media quality, which depends to a large extent on growth promotion properties, determines the reliability and accuracy of test results obtained by microbiological methods. The procedure for culture media preparation is quite labourconsuming and includes several stages: successive dissolution of components exactly as specified in the recipe (qualitative and quantitative composition), sterilisation, adjusting the pH of the medium, and testing of growth promotion properties—therefore it is important to demonstrate the stability of each particular culture medium.The aim of the study was to evaluate growth promotion properties of the culture media prepared in the laboratory from a dry mixture, and to assess their stability during long-term storage.Materials and methods: stability testing was performed for fluid thioglycollate medium (FTM) and soybean-casein digest broth (SCD) prepared in the laboratory. …”
