Culture Media.pptx culture media use in
1.
2. o For identification of bacteria and diagnosis of disease
o To know the morphology and colony characteristics of bacteria
Eg. Cocci in bunch – Staphylococcus aureus
o For study of bacterial population rather then one bacteria
Why we need culture media?
3. Media for cultivation of microorganism contain the
substance necessary to support the growth of mocrobs
The growth of bacteria is dependent on an adequate
supply of suitable nutrient material
Culture media provide
Water, Carbon,
Energy, Nitrogen,
Trace element Growth factor
4. The more commonly used ingredients of bacteriological
media are
Meat extract (Source of CHO),
Peptone (Protein and Amino Acid)
Salt
Agar is generally used as a solidifying agent.
(Source-Bluish green Algae)
Gelatin and Silica gel also use for solidify
5. Preparation of Media:-
There are two ways of preparing bacterial culture media viz.
From basic Ingredients.
(a) Mixing the ingredients.
When preparing solid media,
first add the salts and other soluble ingredients like peptone,
beef extracts etc.
Then adjusting pH, agar is added.
6. (b) Adjustment of pH
Pathogenic bacteria grow best at the pH range of 7.2 to 7.4.
To make medium alkaline N/10 NaOH and to make it acidic
N/10 HCL is added.

16. B. Enriched media:
It is a medium which is able to enhance the growth of particular
organism without inhibiting the growth of other organism.
Blood, serum etc. are use in medium for better or enhance
growth of microorganism.
e.g. Blood agar, serum agar, serum glucose agar, Glucose broth.
Blood agar:
It is prepared by adding 5-10% sterile defibrinated blood in
melted nutrient agar at 55 C temperature or below.
Use:
For growing pathogenic organism like Pasturella multocida,
streptococcus spp. and Corynabacterium pyogenes and also for
observing haemolysis.
18. C. Differential Media:
Media containing some ingredient which allows to
distinguish between different group of bacteria
Ex:- Mac Conkey agar:
Use:
differentiate between lactose fermenting (E.coli) and non
lactose fermenting (Salmonella) organism
20. D) Selective media:
The media contain components that select for
the growth of specific organism and inhibiting
the growth of other organism
Brilliant green agar:
Use: For selective isolation of Salmonella other than
Salmonella typhi.
Eosin Methylene Blue agar (EMB):
Use: For selective isolation of E.coli.
22. E) Enrichment Media
These are normally liquid media which facilitate better or
enhance growth of required organism and inhibit the growth
of other type organism.
Tetrathionate broth and selenite broth for isolation of
Salmonella.
23. F) Media for enhancement of pigmentation
