In the former, the pH of the medium is adjusted to 6.0 to allow the growth of organisms requiring slightly acidic pH. Since the medium contains 0.8 % sodium chloride, it can be used as a base for enrichment with blood or ascetic fluid or other supplements for cultivation of fastidious microorganisms.
