Simple Method for Detecting Bacteroides spp. Bacteriocin Production

Thomas V Riley 1, Brian J Mee 1
PMCID: PMC273835  PMID: 7016904

Abstract

Bacteroides isolates were grown anaerobically on a 0.22-μm membrane filter on an agar plate for 48 h. Cultures of an indicator strain were grown as a lawn on the agar after removal of the filter, and bacteriocin sensitivity was detected by zones of inhibition.
