One of the oldest examples of the application of biotechnology. Nevertheless a very useful way of illustrating how micro-organisms can be used in manufacturing products and the importance of monitoring the steps along the way.

  • The differential growth rates of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus
  • Estimation of the total bacterial population
  • Titration of acid produced
  • Measuring pH
  • Determination of clotting point of casein

The kit provides sufficient practical activity to occupy a normal class of students at 16+ level working in groups. The concepts included in the kit are particularly suitable for A-Level students and for use at college level. These organisms present no particular safety problems.

  • Methyl violet
  • Inoculating loop
  • Gram's iodine

  • Aseptic handling technique should always be observed when handling bacterial cultures.
  • Our living bacterial cultures are carefully selected for teaching purposes, and as such, most are classified as Hazard Group 1 - unlikely to cause human disease.
  • Bacterial cultures should be regularly subcultured to maintain their health.
  • Cultures should always be inspected for contamination before use.
