Starch Agar was formulated by Vedder (1) in 1915, for the cultivation of Neisseria. Since then, other media have been developed that are superior to Starch Agar for the isolation of Neisseria species, including enriched GC Medium Base. Starch Agar (M107) is recommended for the detection of starch hydrolyzing microorganisms from foods (2) and clinical samples (3). Although the medium was originally formulated to perform the test for the identification of Bacillus cereus, it can be applied to any kind of microorganism where starch hydrolysis activity is required to be analyzed.
