Abstract
This study was conducted in order to display the peculiar appearance of bacteria which were recovered on Sano-Gam Media. The studied bacteria were Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Some of the tested bacteria recovered on SANO-GAM media reflected peculiar growth appearance which had been noticed as high carbon dioxide production by Salmonella spp., in Glucose medium. A huge mist growth of P. vulgaris, spider network and crystal manifestation of E. coli colonies, strange accumulation of K. pneumoniae on Cu Sano-Gam medium were observed as button-like colonies of Salmonella spp., and ferrum stained colonies of E. coli were seen. From the positive point of view the new invented Sano-Gam media were being able to recover all tested bacteria nicely irrespectively whether they have expressed their growth peculiarly or not.
