Which of the following is the best medium to grow anaerobic bacteria exclusively?
Robeson's cooked meat medium is the most widely used fluid medium for the culture of anaerobes. It consists of fat-free minced cooked meat in broth. It permits the growth of even strict anaerobes and indicates their saccharolytic or proteolytic activities, by the meat being turned red or black, respectively.
