Growth and recovery of thirty strains of Lactobacillus from different origin and four other bacteria were tested on various media commonly recommended for rapid detection and enumeration of lactobacilli. Racka Ray No. 3 yielded the highest colony‐counts and allowed enumeration of most strains within 48 h of semi‐anaerobic incubation. A new medium has been proposed which is comparable to Racka Ray No. 3 in recovery results, however, enumeration can easily be done 24 h after inoculation.
