Contaminants detection : Why is it so important to have QC procedures?
y Direct competition with culture yeast for nutrients during
fermentation y Affect product quality / consistency in different ways: • Off flavors
• Filtration problems
Filtration problems

Both methods recommended for samples in which high levels of contamination is
expected : yeast, beer and ingredients such as process water Dilutions might be required ( 30‐300 colonies /plate = significantly representative)
Recommended for samples with low contamination levels such as beer, rinse water
Incubate under appropriate conditions: w/ or w/o O2, temperature, time

that contains various amounts of different chemicals that are known to support growth of many microorganisms. y Selective medium (S): One that encourages the growth of some
organisms while suppressing the growth of others.
y Differential medium (D): One that will cause an observable change in the medium when
in the medium when a particular
a particular biochemical reaction occurs.
y Enriched medium (E): One that contains special nutrients that
encourages growth of a particular organism that might not be
otherwise present at an high enough level to allow it to be isolated
and identified.

Different types of media…
y Inhibitory medium (I):
One which inhibits certain microorganisms from growing
while allowing others to grow –
usually by adding an inhibitory
substance (like antibiotics).
Cycloheximide = yeast inhibitor
Chloramphenicol = bacteria inhibitor

Included in the ASBC « Methods of Analysis »
Most culture & nonculture yeast,
Gram (‐) rods commonly found in
breweries will grow well under
standard (aerobic) conditions.
LAB often found in breweries
(Lactobacillus, Pediococcus) will
grow well under anaerobic
incubation at 28oC.
Cycloheximide can be added to
suppress yeast growth.

General Culture Media for the brewery
LMDA / SDA
(Lee’s Multi‐Differential Agar

S i lid medium
di
h
bl
Semi‐solid
that
enables
selective detection & quantification of
lactic acid bacteria.
Many LAB can be detected in 2 days
(28oC). Differentiation of Lactobacillus
and Pediococcus can be made after 5‐
7 days.
Included in the ASBC « Methods of Analysis » Free video on Siebel’s website & YouTube
HLP PLATES
‐ Add 1.5‐2.0g agar
‐ Anaerobic incubation needed !
Yeast growth is suppressed by
cycloheximide already in the medium.
Simple, quick test for the most
common beer spoiling bacteria,
requiring minimal lab equipment.
Anaerobic incubation and autoclave
are not required.

How to detect LAB ?
RRLM
(Raka‐Ray Lactic Acid Bacteria Medium)
y Selectively detects LAB in beer and brewing process by encouraging larger colonies of
this bacterial group to grow in a shorter time.
y Presence of LAB is also emphasized by suppressing, in varying degree, the growth of
facultative nonlactic acid (wort) bacteria.
y Included in the ASBC « Methods of Analysis »
y Incubate anaerobically at 28oC
y Most LAB will develop within 3 days
y Pediococcus will require 5‐7 days incubation

BMB
(Barney‐Miller Brewery Medium)
y Developed by Michael Barney when at Miller
y Under patent, a few manufacturer

27
How to detect enterics ?
MacConkey Agar
y Selective medium for Gram (‐) enterics because crystal violet and bile salts
inhibit Gram (+) bacteria.
y Differential because lactose and pH indicator will identify lactose
fermenters as red colonies and nonfermenters as light pink colonies.
y Coliform colonies, which are lactose fermenters, will therefore be red.
y When lactose is fermented, a local pH drop around the colony causes a
color change of the pH indicator (neutral red) and bile precipitaton.
y Aerobic incubation at 35oC for 18‐48 hours
y Various formulations – be careful !

SMMP (Selective Medium Megaspherea and Pectinatus)
y Included in the ASBC « Methods of Analysis »
y Complex liquid medium not commercially available composed of a basal

y The reagents of the selective stock
solution (sodium fusidate,
cycloheximide and crystal violet) inhibit or restrict significantly the growth
of other bacterial species and yeasts.
y Anaerobic incubation at 28‐30oC for 14 days.
y Visible turbidity should be reported as presumptive positive and shoud be

CONCLUSION & Suggestions
y Which media should you choose?
y Not necessary to have all the fency equipment and to spend a lot of money to have a lab…
y Lab work doesn’t necessarily have to monopolize all your
time…
y Not confident about your results? Rely on an external lab to do the work for you or to confirm your results from time to time
