Why is nutrient broth considered as a universal growth medium for bacteria?
You are employed by a research institution that develops technology for food preservation. The head of the department wants you to develop a controlled fermentation procedure that utilizes carabao mango. The required flavour are as follows: tart and buttery taste. What LAB species will you utilize in the fermentation process? What method will you use in the starter culture preparation and addition? What are the essential ingredients and condition that will favour the growth of your starter culture?
Yoghurt starter culture is a mixed population of S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus, both competing for the same substrate, lactose. Is it possible for the two cultures to continue to co-exist?
