Orange Serum Broth is recommended for cultivation of microorganisms associated with spoilage of citrus products, cultivation of Lactobacilli, other aciduric organisms and pathogenic fungi. This medium is recommended by APHA for cultivation of Lactobacilli and other aciduric organisms. Murdock and Brokaw employed Orange Serum Broth for studies of sanitary control of the processing of citrus concentrates. Hays and Reister recommended Orange Serum Broth, pH 5.5 which is accepted as a control medium by the citrus industry since at this reaction, the medium is most productive for the growth of spoilage organisms. It is also used to initiate growth of saprophytic, pathogenic fungi in small samples.
Application: For Cultivation of Microorganisms associated with Spoilage of Citrus Products, Cultivation of Lactobacilli, other Aciduric organisms and Pathogenic Fungi
