Fields Wednesday

Fildes (P. G. Fildes) is a famous English bacteriologist, born in 1882. He developed and introduced a medium called “Fields”, which is used for culturing bacteria.

Fildes's medium is a nutrient medium that contains all the necessary components for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. It was developed at the beginning of the 20th century and is still used to study various microorganisms.

One of the main advantages of Filed's environment is its ease of use. It does not require complex equipment or special conditions for preparation. In addition, it produces results quickly and accurately, making it especially useful for scientific research.

However, like any other medium, Filed's can only be used for certain types of bacteria, and is not suitable for all types of microorganisms. Additionally, using Environment Files can be expensive because it contains expensive components.

Despite these disadvantages, Filed's medium remains one of the most popular media for culturing bacteria and continues to be used in scientific research around the world.



David Clauser was born in Leiden, the Netherlands in 1934. He began working in research at the University of Arkansas in the 50s. The University of Arkansas became Danforth Fildes' primary residence throughout his career.

Danforth Files began his scientific career in the laboratory of Pascal Vialeschim, which was engaged in research in the fields of biology, microbiology and chemistry. There he studied a group of different organisms that had certain physiological elements. Over time, he began to focus on some of the major microorganisms, such as Escherichia Coli and Streptococcus pneumoniae. His work was recognized even by those scientists who studied other bacteria. However, he noticed one interesting thing - when he used live microorganisms in his activities, his results were not always accurate. This made him turn his attention to pure culture of microorganisms for experiments. Using his knowledge of organizing sterile environments, Files developed a number of cultures of microorganisms and studied the factors influencing their growth and development. Through these studies, he gained valuable knowledge about what nutrients microorganisms need at certain temperatures, humidity and other factors. All this helped him find ideal conditions for creating a pure culture of any organism. And then, he came to the conclusion that all microorganisms that need nutrients cannot survive without them! And now Danforth Thales has become known as one of the leading experts in the field of microbiology, answering questions about the purity of bacteria, microbes and even viruses.
