Abstract
The modified Chalmers medium appeared as quite suitable to counting a mixing population consisting of different species of lactic acid bacteria used as starter in breadmaking. Selected strains of Lactobacillus plantarum , Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides , Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis , Enterococcus faecalis together with Saccharomyces cerevisiae could be easily differentiated and counted with an acceptable recovery in comparison with reference media. The modified Chalmers medium has proved to be very satisfactory for differential counts of the main species of lactic acid bacteria occurring in starter for dough leavening processI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
