Abstract

Because of the increased price of palladium chloride, we investigated the effectiveness of the addition of this ingredient to the culture medium used for the recovery of anaerobes. With our system, the addition of palladium chloride did not consistently improve the recovery rate of bacteria from guinea pig intestinal contents and human fecal material.
