The speciation of lactobacillus, as described in Bergey's manual can be performed using the API 50 CHL kit supplied by Biomerieux. It's a little expensive- but so is purchasing all those sugars and makign up the solutions!

Dear Netters,
I need information how to identify Lactobacillus species. I´ve seraching on the Bergey´s manual, but I need to know the culture media base for sugars, aminoacids, etc.
Thank you in advance.
