Popis: Several studies showing the definite growth-enhancing or promoting effect of carbon material upon certain bacteria have been reported. Charcoal and graphite added to solidified or liquid culture media enhanced the growth of Gonococcus and Meningococcus [1], Legionella pneumophila [2], and Haemophilus pertussis [3] ; and of several strains of Bacillus carboniphilus [4–6] and Bacillus stearothermophilus [6] under a non-permissive stress condition. It has been proposed that activated charcoal detoxifies peroxide and various free radicals of oxygen in culture media, resulting in the enhancement of the growth of Legionella [7].
