Overview
Lactobacilli MRS Broth w/o Glucose is MRS medium without glucose, so you add the carbon source you want to test. Used for carbohydrate utilisation tests of lactic acid bacteria, fermentation evaluation of prebiotics such as oligosaccharides, and lactic acid bacteria culture that needs a defined carbon source or controlled sugar level. All other components match standard MRS.
Agar or broth: which to choose
MRS Agar is used for enumeration and single-colony isolation of lactic acid bacteria, the standard choice in fermented food and probiotic quality control. MRS Broth is used for strain activation, seed culture, and pre-fermentation scale-up. The two share the same formulation base and differ only in the solidifying agent.

Frequently asked questions
01How does food-grade MRS differ from standard MRS?
The food-grade version is manufactured from food-grade raw materials and replaces animal-derived nitrogen sources with plant- and yeast-based alternatives. It suits fermented foods and probiotic products that require Halal certification, vegetarian labelling, or full raw-material traceability. Performance is verified against standard control strains.
