FIELD: biotechnology, microbiology. SUBSTANCE: R-agar-base medium for immunological examination has additionally L-alanine, iron sulfate and antianthracis globulin as a source of antitoxic antibodies taken at the definite ratio of components. This medium composition provides the combined assay of exotoxin and capsule producing under different conditions of the sowing material culturing (vegetative cells, spores, different requirement for factors, amino acids and others) and ensures to differentiate virulence of all strains, select immunogenic vaccine strains, analyze cellular composition of cultures B. ANTHRACITIC based on exotoxin and capsule properties. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness and quality of medium proposed. 2 tbl
