Ferguson Nutrient Media

Ferguson's culture medium

The nutrient medium of Franz Felixovich Fergusson (1894-1951) was called the Fergu-Hook medium due to the fact that the method of isolating and growing this microbe was described by Felix Huck (1903-1961), a German by birth, and the German bacteriologist Federica Müller (Fedorika Müller) in 1928. He also undertook further research on this microorganism.

Wednesday Fergusson was named after the legendary Scottish nationalist James Fergusson, a freedom fighter for the Scottish Republic (Sobornost d'Dhonnakail) who was killed in the Jacobite rebellion (rebel) in July 1746 in Benbout, Scotland.

After an open discussion about the best name for such an artificial environment, called FF, Huk adopted the name Fergusson from his colleagues and began to call it "Fermentation Fross-Hugka" (named after the bacteriological station Fritz Hugka in Kolberg/Kehlberg-Sachsen, now Neuburg-Gerschwitz -Sachsen), sometimes called by the abbreviated name "CFH" - in honor of Felix Chuch, Fedose Murul and Francesco Fergeson (FF - Ferfensçosa Forsona).
