Patent CA-2377144-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RODRIGUES NUNO MIGUEL SOUSA FA
IPC: C12N1/16
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: The present invention provides a generic culture medium for the detection and enumeration of yeasts belonging to the <i>Dekkera</i> and <i>Brettanomyces</i>  genera and a method for the detection and enumeration of said yeasts using said culture medium. According to the invention, the method comprises adding to a base yeast culture medium, a non fermentable energy source, particularly ethanol, <i>p</i>-cumaric acid, as an aromatic compound promoting substract, exclusively produced by said yeast genera, an acid-base indicator, particularly bromocresol green, a yeast growth inhibitor antibiotic, particularly cycloheximide, and a bacterial growth inhibiting antibiotic, particularly chloramphenicol and/or oxytetracycline. When yeasts of the genera <i>Dekkera</i> and <i>Brettanomyces</i> are cultivated in said medium, the developed colonies show a characteristic color, the culture medium color changes according a reproducible pattern, due to the decrease in pH, and a characteristic phenol-like aroma is developed, easily detectable by smell after a few days of incubation, which allows their detection and enumeration.  The invention is useful in the detection and enumeration of yeasts belonging to the <i>Dekkera</i> and <i>Brettanomyces</i> genera in the food and beverage industry, allowing its inclusion in yeast identification galleries.
