Use of the Minitek system for characterizing lactobacilli

S E Gilliland et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1977 Jun.

Abstract

Incubation of inoculated substrates of the Minitek system in anaerobic GasPak jars provided a method that produced results comparable to those of conventional tubed media for characterizing species of Lactobacillus. The use of sterile mineral oil to overlay inoculated substrate disks was responsible for erroneous results.
