How long can LAB last in fridge - without sugar mixed in?

I made some LAB and did not mix in 50:50 with sugar, but put it in the fridge immediately.  How long will it stay viable? What is a good way to know if it has gone bad or died off?

From what I have empirical evidence for, it lasts about 3 months in the fridge without supersaturation. With super saturation in the fridge it can last many years. The smell and taste are the best tell tales without a microscope. If you do have a microscope staining the lab and looking at them is an easy way to count the populations.
