Nutrient agar is a general-purpose solid medium supporting growth of a wide range of non-fastidious organisms. It typically contains (mass/volume): [1] 0.5% peptone – this provides organic nitrogen; 0.3% beef extract/yeast extract – the water-soluble content of these contribute vitamins, carbohydrates, nitrogen, and salts; 1.5% agar ...
Tryptic (trypticase) soy agar (TSA) is a general-purpose medium produced by enzymatic digestion of soybean meal and casein. It is frequently the base medium of other agar types; for example, blood agar plates are made by enriching TSA plates with blood.
An agar plate – an example of a bacterial growth medium*: Specifically, it is a streak plate; the orange lines and dots are formed by bacterial colonies.. A growth medium or culture medium is a solid, liquid, or semi-solid designed to support the growth of a population of microorganisms or cells via the process of cell proliferation [1] or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens.

YM Agar and Broth, is a selective growth medium with low pH useful for cultivating yeasts, molds, or other acid-tolerant or acidophilic organisms, while deterring growth of most bacteria and other acid intolerant organisms. [1] It is malt extract medium modified by the addition of yeast extract and peptone. [2]
Tryptic soy broth or Trypticase soy broth (frequently abbreviated as TSB) is used in microbiology laboratories as a culture broth to grow aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria. It is a general purpose medium that is routinely used to grow bacteria which tend to have high nutritional requirements (i.e., they are fastidious ).
Colonies of Micrococcus luteus on Tryptic Soy Agar. Cultivation 48 hours, 37°C. Trypticase soy agar or Tryptic soy agar (TSA) is a growth media for the culturing of moderately to non fastidious bacteria. It is a general-purpose, non-selective media providing enough nutrients to allow for a wide variety of microorganisms to grow.
Schädler agar is composed of several key ingredients that provide the necessary nutrients and environment for anaerobic bacterial growth: [2] Peptones: serve as a source of nitrogen and amino acids. Yeast extract: provides vitamins, particularly B vitamins, and other growth factors. Dextrose: a source of carbon and energy.
R2A agar (Reasoner's 2A agar) is a culture medium [1] developed to study bacteria which normally inhabit potable water. [2] These bacteria tend to be slow-growing species and would quickly be suppressed by faster-growing species on a richer culture medium.
