Abstract

The effects of different media constituents and methods of achieving anaerobiosis were determined. Best results were obtained with a liquid medium containing a protein digest, yeast extract, and bromocresol purple and with a Vaspar seal for maintaining anaerobiosis. The major problem encountered was inhibition of mannitol fermentation in some cultures when alcoholic stock solutions of bromocresol purple were used in preparation of the media.
