Description |
These media viz. Schaedler Agar and Broth, were developed to create the selective conditions to allow the growth of fastidious anaerobic microrganisms from a mixed flora, like gastrointestinal tract, where there are many antagonistic activities between fast growing facultatives and the delicate fastidious anaerobic organisms. For this aspect, the media with thioglycolate are widely used, but this compound seems to inhibit some delicate anaerobic organisms. On the other hand, Schaedler media have L-Cystine as a reducing agent, thus some gramnegative do not grow. Effective separation or isolation in several biotypes is achieved with the addition of selective agents to the nutrient base. For example, this medium can be rendered selective for lactic bacteria by adding 10 g/L of sodium chloride and 0,002 g/L of neomycin. For the selection of Clostridium and Bacteroides, it is more advisable to add 2 g/L of placenta powder and 0,002 g/L of neomycin. Should a selective medium for Flavobacteri |
