Lactobacillus Casei - Live

Lactobacillus casei - Live bacterial culture

Cultures are supplied labelled, on agar slopes in screw top vials, and identified as being gram positive (+ve) or negative (-ve). As a general rule Gm⁺ are not resistant to penicillin but Gm^- are.

All bacteria cultures supplied have been selected for school use and checked for purity before dispatch by the producer. Although considered to be non-pathogenic, the possibility exists of mutation, accidental contamination, or over-sensitivity of an individual to a particular organism. It is therefore important that all cultures are viewed as being potentially dangerous and are handled and treated accordingly.

Also called Lacticaseibacillus casei, this is gram +ve, rod shaped and non motile. It is commonly used in dairy production and is often found in probiotics.

Storage and shelf life

Shelf life approx 3-4 weeks @ 4°C

To keep for longer you will need to subculture the bacteria onto new agar slopes.
