M17 Agar is a nutrient-rich solid medium formulated for the selective cultivation of lactic streptococci, particularly Streptococcus thermophilus. It supports the growth of related species such as S. lactis, S. cremoris, and S. diacetylactis, while helping limit the proliferation of unwanted bacteria.
Why it matters: It is widely used in dairy microbiology and starter culture development, offering consistent colony isolation, stable pH conditions, and reliable performance for quality control and research applications.
