Overview
In 1965, researchers developed Schaedler Agar, a medium for growing picky anaerobic bacteria. This original formula aimed to support the growth of various bacteria like lactobacilli, streptococci, and Bacteroides. Later, other scientists modified Schaedler Agar to improve its use. They adjusted ingredients to enhance growth and clarity. Notably, vitamin K1 was added to support the growth of specific bacteria. Finally, Schaedler Agar with 5% Sheep Blood was created.
Intended Use
For the isolation and cultivation of fastidious anaerobic bacteria.
