Súhrn: A strain Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM Howaru Dophilus (NCFM strain) is a probiotic bacterium with positive health effects proven by extensive research. This work deals with examination of media composition and CO2 concentration effects on the growth and metabolism of Lactobacillus strains. Growth rate (Gr) of NCFM strain in non-supplemented de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe (MRS) broth was 0.348 log CFU·ml-1·h-1, lactic acid production rate (rLA) was 2.07 g·l-1·h-1 and the concentration of produced lactic acid (ΔcLA) reached 12.5 g·l-1. Activity of NCFM strain in milk was significantly lower (Gr = 0.297 log CFU·ml-1·h-1, rLA = 0.16 g·l-1·h-1, ΔcLA = 12.1 g·l-1). Depending on the added substrate, Gr of NCFM strain was 0.295–0.398 log CFU·ml-1·h-1 and 0.260–0.341 log CFU·ml-1·h-1, and the yield of lactic acid ΔcLA was 1.12–14.39 g·l-1 and 1.13–11.57 g·l-1, in MRS broth and milk respectively. Results showed that the most significant stimulation was achieved in medium containing tryptone and the growth limiting factors were mainly free amino acids.
