Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the growth of Lactobacillus fermentum isolated from the intestine of Japanese quail ( Coturnix japonica ) on medium variation of rice bran meal. The influence of this medium preparation on the cell number and produce of lactic acid of L.fermentum was evaluated every six hour in 36-hour incubation. A randomized block design was used to assign three variation of rice bran medium (6, 9 and 12) %. The result showed that the higest cell number was in 9 % rice bran medium at pH 4.7 at 12 th hour was 5.2 x 10 10 CFU/ml and the highest lactic acid concentrations were 0.57 %. The fastest speed of growth in 9 % rice bran medium was 0.92 generation/hour and generation time 45 minutes. In conclusion, the optimum growth of L.fermentum was in 9 % rice bran medium at 12 th hour. Keywords: Lactobacillus fermentum, growth, quail, rice bran.
