THIOGLYCOLLATE MEDIUM W/O DEXTROSE AND INDICATOR

Description

Thioglycollate Medium without dextrose and indicator is the modification of original Thioglycollate medium used for the fermentation study of anaerobes and for enhancement of sporulation. Omission of dextrose facilitates it to be used in fermentation studies with the addition of desired carbohydrate. Some Clostridia remain viable for a longer period and sporulate better in the absence of carbohydrate and thus this medium could be used for sporulations.
