Basics of Fluid Thioglycollate Media (FTM) | With Examples

The video tutorial explains Fluid Thioglycollate Media (FTM) and its use in determining bacterial aerotolerance. It covers different types of bacteria based on their oxygen requirements: obligate aerobes, obligate anaerobes, facultative anaerobes, and microaerophiles. The tutorial describes how these bacteria grow in FTM, creating distinct patterns based on their oxygen preferences. Practical examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.
