Bacterium lactis acidi (from Storch)
- ticular organism. In the bacteriological laboratory,
where alone absolute sterility of utensils and medium, and entire exclusion of foreign infection are possible, the culture may remain pure while this inoculation and propagation are repeated over and over again. But when the propagation is carried on in the house or the dairy, for instance in preparing starters or buttermilk, such absolute cleanliness is impossible and in the long run infections will creep in from the air or from the utensils and after a while it becomes necessary to start with a new "pure culture." How often such renewal must be resorted to depends largely upon the surroundings and the care of the operator. Usually it must be done after a week's time, although it is surprising to find milk preparations made by the simplest processes equal in purity to those prepared with the assistance of bacteriological science and technique. This is, for instance, the case in Bulgaria, where the famous Yoghourt sour milk is prepared pure without
