The pour plate technique is the typical technique used to prepare plate count agars. Here, the inoculum is added to the molten agar before pouring the plate. The molten agar is cooled to about 45 degrees Celsius and is poured using a sterile method into a petri dish containing a specific diluted sample.
An agar plate being viewed in an electronic colony counter Example of a workup algorithm of possible bacterial infection in cases with no specifically requested targets (non-bacteria, mycobacteria etc.), with most common situations and agents seen in a New England community hospital setting. Different agar plates are used for different specimen ...
Tissue culture flasks. RPMI 1640, simply known as RPMI medium, is a cell culture medium commonly used to culture mammalian cells. [1] RPMI 1640 was developed by George E. Moore, Robert E. Gerner, and H. Addison Franklin in 1966 at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (formerly known as Roswell Park Memorial Institute), from where it derives its name. [2]
Hoyle's agar is a selective medium that uses tellurite to differentially select Corynebacterium diphtheriae from other upper respiratory tract flora. The medium appears cream to yellow colored, and takes the form of a free-floating powder. It is a modification of Neill's medium. [1] Hoyle's tellurite agar contains:
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.
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.

LB medium bottle and LB agar plate Plate medium agar LB. Lysogeny broth (LB) is a nutritionally rich medium primarily used for the growth of bacteria. Its creator, Giuseppe Bertani, intended LB to stand for lysogeny broth, [1] but LB has also come to colloquially mean Luria broth, Lennox broth, life broth or Luria–Bertani medium. [2]
YPD medium bottle and YPD agar plate. YEPD or yeast extract peptone dextrose, also often abbreviated as YPD, is a complete medium for yeast growth. It contains yeast extract, peptone, double-distilled water, and glucose (dextrose). [1] It can be used as solid medium by including agar.
