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 ).
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.

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.
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.
Agar plates Organisms are placed or streaked onto petri dishes Provides a solid surface for stationary growth, compact and stackable Agar based dipsticks Essentially miniature agar plates in the form of dipsticks Diagnostic purposes, can be used anywhere, cost effective, easy to use Selective and differential media
Tryptic soy-serum-bacitracin-vancomycin (TSBV) is a type of agar plate medium used in microbiological testing to select for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. a.). [1] It was described by Jørgen Slots in 1982, who also discovered the role of A.a. in periodontitis. [2] Per litre, TSBV contains: [3] 40 g tryptic soy agar; 1 g yeast extract
Cystine tryptic agar (CTA), also known as cystine trypticase agar, [1] [2] is a growth medium used for the identification of microorganisms. [ 3 ] It can be used to determine if organisms can ferment various carbohydrates , including maltose , lactose , and sucrose .
Plate count agar (PCA), also called standard methods agar (SMA), is a microbiological growth medium commonly used to assess or to monitor "total" or viable bacterial growth of a sample. PCA is not a selective medium.
