split in many ways by enzymatic action, grew good cultures both alone and 
in combination with other materials. 
(5) As noted in all other tests the Lipman and Brown agar grew the 
best cultures and apparently developed their distinguishing chromogenic 
characteristics much better than the sodium asparaginate agar. 
(6) From macroscopic comparisons the starch media seemed to be the 
real competitor of the Lipman and Brown agar. 
Tuse Mepia Test VI.
