STANDARD NUTRIENT AGAR NO.2

Fastidious organisms are organisms which require preformed organic molecules like vitamins, amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates. In general, bacterial pathogens need more preformed organic molecules than do non-pathogens. Media which are highly nutritional are generally used to enrich less fastidious organism so as to isolate them from test samples. Standard Nutrient Area No.2 can be used in the detection of inhibitors during the bacteriological examination of meat. This medium can also be modified with various additives. Standard Nutrient Broth No.2 can also be used for the examination of water.
