Used as a microbiological culture medium for the cultivation and isolation of fastidious bacteria, particularly in clinical and research laboratories. Supports the growth of bacteria with complex nutritional requirements, especially those that are difficult to grow on standard agar media. Commonly used in diagnostic procedures to identify pathogenic organisms from clinical specimens. Also utilized in antibiotic susceptibility testing and in studies involving bacterial metabolism and growth kinetics. Its formulation enhances the recovery of viable bacterial cells from samples with low microbial load.
