Abstract
An improved solid medium for differentiating between homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria is proposed. It was developed to support the growth of wine strains unable to grow in other media. However, it can be employed as a general medium for the lactic acid bacteria that utilize fructose.
