Media for Microbiology

Tryptic Soy Agar base with 5% Sheep Blood

This selective and differential medium is used to isolate gram negative organisms.

To assist in the differentiation of enteric organisms the medium provides three tests - indole production, production of hydrogen sulfide by organisms that can reduce sulfur, and motility.

This soybean-casein digest medium can support a wide variety of microorganisms.

This high-nutrient broth is a great general purpose media. Especially useful for growing E. coli cultures

Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI) Agar is a general purpose media used for the cultivation of fastidous microrganisms.

For differentiation of organisms based on proteolysis of casein and coagulation.

(For creating “microaquana” for observation of protists)

For demonstration of acid production, coagulation, or proteolysis of casein in culture identification.

For cultivation of halophilic bacilli.

With 5% sheep’s blood. For isolation of Gram-positive organisms.

A basal medium containing a single carbohydrate used to determine whether bacteria can ferment the specific carbohydrate. The medium contains a pH indicator that changes from red to yellow if the bacteria can ferment the carbohydrate.

Medium for cultivating phytopathological fungi, and stimulating production of chlamydospores.

With sterile oat flakes, for growth of Physarum polycephalum.

A basal medium containing a single carbohydrate used to determine whether bacteria can ferment the specific carbohydrate. The medium contains a pH indicator that changes from red to yellow if the bacteria can ferment the carbohydrate.

Without indicator. For cultivation of anaerobic species and Clostridium. Suitable for fermentation studies where no indicator is required.
