What is the value of agar in isolating bacteria from mixed culture?

Angelina Fanny Hesse made the isolation of bacteria possible by suggesting the use of agar-agar. In the early 1880's Hitchens and Leikind suggested that 'plain agar' be referred to as 'Frau Hesse's medium' to acknowledge her forgotten 'service to science and to humanity.' Perhaps it's finally time that we remember Frau Hesse and celebrate all the ignored 'bead collectors' working in the laboratories and kitchens that make science possible.Agar is actually an inert but great medium for growing microorganisms. It will grow the largest number of different types of microbes - fungi and bacteria. Agar is a general purpose medium supporting growth of a wide range of non-fastidious organisms.Yet, not all bacteria can grow on it. Some find it too rich, and others find it deficient. An example of a fastidious organism is Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which requires blood or hemoglobin and several amino acids and vitamins in order to grow.You would then know that the organism you are looking at can't be gonorrhea since it didn't grow.


Can fastidious organism be grown on a general purpose medium?

No because fastidious organisms, or organisms that have highly elaborate and specific nutritional needs, do not grow on a general purpose medium because they require the addition of one or more growth-supporting substances, enrichments such as additional plant or animal extracts, vitamins, or blood.
