High-Yield Explanation
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.
