The addition of glucose to the formulation allows rapid, heavy growth of anaerobic bacteria in a short time and leads to a more rapid identification of important anaerobes. The improved growth also enhances GLC identification of anaerobic bacteria.

The improved clarity of the supernatant broth permits earlier detection of growth especially when combined with the increased growth of most organisms. Slower growing isolates will yield detectable growth within 45 hours of incubation.
