The fluid thioglycollate medium formulation was first described in 1940 by brewer. 1 this medium demonstrated that combining a tiny portion of agar and a reducing substance initiated the expansion of anaerobic bacteria. The fluid thioglycollate formulation is the standard medium recommended by the national institute of health, And the u, Food and the national, Drug administration formulary. S. Pharmacopeia for sterility testing of clear fluid biologics and other sterile products. 2, 4, 5 the inclusion of a small amount of agar in the media aids in the initiation and growth of small inocula and anaerobes by impeding the diffusion of oxygen into the medium. It also retards the dispersion of co2 and the reducing substance from the microenvironment surrounding the inoculum. Sodium thioglycollate is a substance that lowers oxidation which maintains a low oxygen tension by removing molecular oxygen from the which may, Environment. Peroxides be lethal to many are not, Anaerobic organisms formed under this condition. Cystine and casein supply carbon and dextrose is, Nitrogenous compounds added as another and sodium, Energy source chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium.
