CULTURE MEDIA
INTRODUCTION
• Culture media/ growth media are specific mixtures of nutrients and
other substances that support the growth of microorganisms.
• Some bacterial species are able to grow under wide range of
conditions, but others are selective.
• Artificial culture medium must provide all nutritional components that
a bacterium gets in its natural habitat.
• Louis Pasteur used simple broths made of urine and meat extracts.
• Robert Koch realized the importance of solid media and used potato
pieces to grow bacteria.
REASONS TO CULTIVATE
MICROORGANISMS IN PURE FORM
• To demonstrate their properties so as to identify them for their clinical
significance.
• To determine their sensitivity to antibiotics.
• To study their physiological virulence and genetic properties.
• For preparing antigens and vaccines.
• For epidemiological purposes.
• For research.
COMMON INGREDIENTS OF CULTURE

MEDIA
BASED ON CONSISTENCY
1. LIQUID MEDIA
• Bacteria grow diffusely in liquids.
• Examples:
a) Peptone water
b) Nutrient broth
• Uses:
a) Used when large yields of bacteria are required.
b) For preparing bulk cultures of antigens and
vaccines.
c) Specimens containing antibiotics get neutralized
by dilution in the medium.
BASED ON CONSISTENCY
2. SOLID MEDIA
• Agar forms the base of solid media.
• 2% agar is used for solid media.
• Examples:
a) Nutrient agar
b) Blood agar
• Uses:
a) Bacteria have distinct colony morphology
and characteristic features on solid media,
which helps in identification.
BASED ON CONSISTENCY
3. SEMISOLID MEDIA
• Also called sloppy agar
• Concentration of agar is 0.2-0.5%.
• Examples:
a) Nutrient broth with 0.5% agar
• Uses:
a) To demonstrate motility of bacteria.
b) To maintain stock culture
BASED ON CONSTITUENTS
1. SIMPLE MEDIA
• They contain minimum ingredients that support growth of
non-fastidious bacteria.
• Examples:
a) Peptone water →1% peptone + 0.5% NaCl + water
b) Nutrient broth → peptone water + 1% meat extract
c) Nutrient agar → nutrient broth + 2% agar
• Uses of simple media:
a) Base for preparation of other
media.
b) Nutrient broth is used to study
bacterial growth curve.
c) Nutrient agar is used to
- study colony morphology.
- perform biochemical tests, like
oxidase, catalase test.
- demonstrate pigment producing
ability of bacteria
Nutrient broth
Nutrient agar
BASED ON CONSTITUENTS
2. COMPLEX MEDIA
• These have added ingredients for special
purposes.
• Examples:
a) MacConkey agar
b) Chocolate agar
• Uses:
a) Provides special nutrients required for
growth of bacteria under study.
Fig: Composition of
MacConkey agar
BASED ON CONSTITUENTS
3. SYNTHETIC / DEFINED MEDIA
• Made from pure chemical substances.
• Exact composition of medium is known.
• Examples:
a) MacConkey agar
b) Nutrient agar
• Uses:
a) For various special studies.
b) They are highly selective, sensitive and rapid.
BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
1. ENRICHED MEDIA
• Nutritional requirements are added to basal
medium.
• Examples:
a) Blood agar
b) Chocolate agar
c) Brain-heart infusion broth (BHIB)
• Uses:
a) To cultivate exacting or fastidious bacteria.
Fig: Blood agar
CHOCOLATE AGAR
2. ENRICHMENT MEDIA
• Employed for specimens with mixed
flora
• Examples:
a) Tetrathionate broth
b) Selenite F broth
• Uses:
a) Suppress commensal bacteria
while allowing pathogen to remain
viable and to grow.
BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
3. SELECTIVE MEDIA
• Contains agents that inhibit the growth of all except that which is required.
• Examples:
a) Deoxycholate citrate agar(DCA) – Salmonella species
b) Thiosulphate citrate bile sucrose agar(TCBS) – Vibrio cholerae
c) Thayer-Martin medium – N. gonorrhoeae
d) Lowenstein-Jensen medium – Mycobacterium species
• Uses:
a) Subculture colony of interest onto agar that will inhibit growth of unwanted
colonies.
BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

MEDIUM
4. INDICATOR MEDIA
• These medium contain an indicator that
changes color when bacterium grows on
it.
• Examples:
a) Wilson-Blair medium – S. typhi
b) McLeod’s medium/ Potassium tellurite
agar – Corynebacterium diphtheriae
c) TCBS agar (Sucrose)
d) MacConkey agar (Neutral red dye)
BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
5. DIFFERENTIAL MEDIA
• Contains factor(s) that allow certain organisms
to exhibit different metabolic characteristics.
• Examples:
a) MacConkey agar
b) Blood agar
c) Cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient
agar(CLED)
• Uses:
a) To isolate and enumerate bacteria
BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
CLED AGAR
MacConkey agar CLED agar
6. TRANSPORT MEDIA
• Devised to transport specimens
suspected to have fastidious
organisms.
• Examples:
a) Stuart’s transport medium
b) Amies transport medium
c) Cary Blair medium
• Uses:
a) To transport specimens.
BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
7. ANAEROBIC MEDIA
• These media contain reducing agents
• Examples:
a) Robertson’s cooked meat medium
b) Thioglycolate medium
• Uses:
a) To cultivate anaerobic organisms like
Clostridia, Bacteroides.
BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
ROBERTSON’S
COOKED MEAT MEDIA

  • 9. BASED ON CONSISTENCY 3. SEMISOLID MEDIA • Also called sloppy agar • Concentration of agar is 0.2-0.5%. • Examples: a) Nutrient broth with 0.5% agar • Uses: a) To demonstrate motility of bacteria. b) To maintain stock culture
  • 10. BASED ON CONSTITUENTS 1. SIMPLE MEDIA • They contain minimum ingredients that support growth of non-fastidious bacteria. • Examples: a) Peptone water →1% peptone + 0.5% NaCl + water b) Nutrient broth → peptone water + 1% meat extract c) Nutrient agar → nutrient broth + 2% agar
  • 11. • Uses of simple media: a) Base for preparation of other media. b) Nutrient broth is used to study bacterial growth curve. c) Nutrient agar is used to - study colony morphology. - perform biochemical tests, like oxidase, catalase test. - demonstrate pigment producing ability of bacteria Nutrient broth Nutrient agar

  • 13. BASED ON CONSTITUENTS 3. SYNTHETIC / DEFINED MEDIA • Made from pure chemical substances. • Exact composition of medium is known. • Examples: a) MacConkey agar b) Nutrient agar • Uses: a) For various special studies. b) They are highly selective, sensitive and rapid.
  • 14. BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS 1. ENRICHED MEDIA • Nutritional requirements are added to basal medium. • Examples: a) Blood agar b) Chocolate agar c) Brain-heart infusion broth (BHIB) • Uses: a) To cultivate exacting or fastidious bacteria. Fig: Blood agar
  • 16. 2. ENRICHMENT MEDIA • Employed for specimens with mixed flora • Examples: a) Tetrathionate broth b) Selenite F broth • Uses: a) Suppress commensal bacteria while allowing pathogen to remain viable and to grow. BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
  • 17. 3. SELECTIVE MEDIA • Contains agents that inhibit the growth of all except that which is required. • Examples: a) Deoxycholate citrate agar(DCA) – Salmonella species b) Thiosulphate citrate bile sucrose agar(TCBS) – Vibrio cholerae c) Thayer-Martin medium – N. gonorrhoeae d) Lowenstein-Jensen medium – Mycobacterium species • Uses: a) Subculture colony of interest onto agar that will inhibit growth of unwanted colonies. BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
  • 19. 4. INDICATOR MEDIA • These medium contain an indicator that changes color when bacterium grows on it. • Examples: a) Wilson-Blair medium – S. typhi b) McLeod’s medium/ Potassium tellurite agar – Corynebacterium diphtheriae c) TCBS agar (Sucrose) d) MacConkey agar (Neutral red dye) BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
  • 20. 5. DIFFERENTIAL MEDIA • Contains factor(s) that allow certain organisms to exhibit different metabolic characteristics. • Examples: a) MacConkey agar b) Blood agar c) Cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient agar(CLED) • Uses: a) To isolate and enumerate bacteria BASED ON FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS CLED AGAR
