Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medically important bacteria are often grown on agar containing blood and at 37°C because it mimics the conditions inside the human body. Agar containing chocolate is also used for some pathogens, but it is not the most common method. The pH of 5 is too acidic for most bacteria to grow, and 37°F is too cold (it should be 37°C).
