Although 100% apple juice or 100% DME starters will "work" for ''Lactobacillus'' starters, they do not provide optimal growth conditions. [https://eurekabrewing.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/evaluate-starter-media-to-propagate-lactobacillus-sp/ Samuel Aeschlimann from Eureka Brewing Blog] ran a set of experiments that found a DME based recipe for starter wort that produces a very high cell density similar to that of MRS media, which provides optimal growth rates for ''Lactobacillus''.
