To examine the mucin-utilizing capacity of bacterial isolates from fecal samples, an in vitro cultivation method using mucins as a carbon source should be considered. This chapter describes a practical method for cultivating bacteria in media containing mucin glycoproteins; for this cultivation method, several factors are considered due to the physical nature of mucin glycoproteins. © 2024.
