Beschreibung

General description

Reinforced Clostridial Agar (RCA) is a powdered microbiological culture medium designed for the cultivation and enumeration of Clostridia. It contains essential nutrients such as beef extract, casein enzymatic hydrolysate, yeast extract, and dextrose, which provide nitrogen, vitamins, amino acids, and carbon for microbial growth. Sodium acetate acts as a buffering agent, while L-cysteine hydrochloride serves as a reducing agent to support anaerobic conditions. The medium has a final pH of 6.8 ± 0.2 at 25°C and is non-selective for Clostridium spp. and Bacteroides spp.
