Several media previously recommended for lactobacilli by other workers have been examined, but none was found to support good growth of all species. Experiments are described in which the optimum concentrations and combinations of various ingredients, particularly Tween 80, were determined. These resulted in the development of a practical medium which has proved satisfactory for the growth of all varieties of lactobacilli.
