This media is prepared, stored, & dispensed under oxygen-free conditions to prevent the formation of oxidized products prior to use.

Selective agents include gentamicin to inhibit facultative anaerobes & bile to inhibit most anaerobes other than the B. fragilis group. Esculin & ferric ammonium citrate permits the recognition of esculin hydrolysis through a brown to black coloration around the esculin-positive colonies. Bilophila spp. may produce black-centered colonies from hydrogen sulfide production.
