CULTURE MEDIUM FOR EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE-PRODUCING LACTOBACILLUS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE-PRODUCING LACTOBACILLUS, EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE AND METHOD FOR YOGHURT PRODUCTION
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a culture medium to increase the production amount of exopolysaccharide by exopolysaccharide-producing lactobacillus, and also provide a method for manufacturing exopolysaccharide-producing lactobacillus.SOLUTION: The culture medium for exopolysaccharide-producing lactobacillus is prepared by adding formic acid or formic acid salt or both to skim milk or reconstituted skim milk or both, and/or by heating skim milk or reconstituted skim milk or both to make the total concentration of formic acid and formic acid salt or both to 0.4-10 mM. The exopolysaccharide-producing lactobacillus is cultured using the above-mentioned culture medium.【課題】 菌体外多糖産生乳酸菌による菌体外多糖の産生量を増加させるための培地、及び菌体外多糖産生乳酸菌の製造方法等を提供する。【解決手段】 脱脂乳及び／又は還元脱脂乳にギ酸及び／又はギ酸塩を添加し、並びに／若しくは、脱脂乳及び／又は還元脱脂乳を加熱処理し、ギ酸及び／又はギ酸塩の合計の濃度を０．４～１０ｍＭとした菌体外多糖産生乳酸菌用培地を得る。この菌体外多糖産生乳酸菌用培地で、菌体外多糖産生乳酸菌を培養する。【選択図】 なし
