It also contains formulations and uses of media for isolation, culture, identification, and maintenance of microorganisms. The entries are arranged alphabetically by medium name and include synonyms, sources, and more. It makes finding media for culturing diverse microorganisms quick and simple, and presents easy-to-follow directions and "cookbook recipes" for preparing media.
