Simmons’ citrate agar was developed by James S. Simmons in 1926 by adding 1.5% agar and bromothymol blue as a pH indicator to Koser’s citrate agar to observe changes in pH as a result of oxidative reactions from citrate metabolism. [5]
Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria can be identified by growing them in test tubes of thioglycolate broth: 1: Obligate aerobes need oxygen because they cannot ferment or respire anaerobically.
The TSI slant is a test tube that contains agar, a pH-sensitive dye , 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, [2] and sodium thiosulfate and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate. All of these ingredients are mixed together, heated to sterility, and allowed to solidify in the test tube at a slanted angle.
Thiosulfate–citrate–bile salts–sucrose agar, or TCBS agar, is a type of selective agar culture plate that is used in microbiology laboratories to isolate Vibrio species. [1] TCBS agar is highly selective for the isolation of V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus as well as other Vibrio species. Apart from TCBS agar, other rapid testing ...
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]
Fast green FCF – color (FDA: FD&C Green #3) Fat – Flavoxanthin – color; Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) – Fenugreek – Ferric ammonium citrate – food acid; Ferrous gluconate – color retention agent; Ferrous lactate – Filé powder – Five-spice powder (Chinese) – Fo-ti-tieng – Formaldehyde – preservative; Formic acid ...
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
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.
