Pediococcus acidilactici is a gram positive cocci that are often found in pairs or tetrads.Pediococcus acidilactici is a homo-fermentative bacterium that can grow in a wide range of pH, temperature and osmotic pressure, therefore being able to colonize the digestive tract[1]. Pediococcus acidilactici has emerged as a potential probiotic that has shown promising results in animal and human experiments, though some of the results are limited. They are commonly found in fermented vegetables, fermented dairy products and meat[2]. Pediococcus acidilactici grows well on MRS (deMann, Rogosa, Sharpe) agar of an optimum pH of 6.2, with an overnight incubation at 37C and 45C. They are also viable at higher temperatures of up to 65 degrees centigrade[3].
