Brain Heart Fusion broth is selective for Streptococci. So , Nutrient broth works good for your startup experiments or LB (Luria Bertani) medium . I suggest 150 rpm. Based on your target product you can optimize the media components and growth conditions for maximum production.
I applied three kind of media for the culture YPD, Brain Heart Infusion, LB and NA (solid media). I find out YPD and LB in 37c 175rpm for 20h-24h the cell growth is much high then the Brain Heart Infusion.
But until I didn't count the cell through the spectrophotometer. I will do it very soon
