Addition of different biological fluids such as horse or sheep blood, serum, egg yolk etc. makes it suitable for the cultivation of related fastidious organisms. This relatively simple formula has been retained and is still widely used in the microbiological examination of variety of materials and is also recommended by standard methods.
