Abstract

This studies were carried out to investigate optimal conditions for Lactic acid bacteria growth, which was grown in a batch fermenter. The optimal temperature was $30^{\circ}C$, optimal pH was 6.5 and agitation speed was 100rpm and didn't supply the air. Used media compositions were yeast extract 5g/L, peptone 10g/L, sugar 20g/L, beef extract 10g/L, tween 80 1ml/L, ammonium citrate 2g/L, sodium acetate 5g/L, magnesium sulfate 0.1g/L, manganese sulfate 0.05g/L, dipotassium phosphate 2g/L. These results would be useful for enhancing lactic acid bacteria concentration.
