Media for Microbiology
Microbiology media facilitate the detection, isolation, and cultivation of microorganism colonies. Culture media additives and supplements enhance the growth capability of specific organisms. Prepared nutrient broths help establish the complex environment that even fastidious organisms require. Containing the nutritional elements that enable cells to multiply, the predetermined substance quantities add additional control to tests. Choose the gel or liquid microbiology media that is most compatible with working cell types.
Phenol Red Dextrose Broth
To prepare media, add 20 g of phenol red dextrose broth to a liter of distilled or de-ionized water. The media will not be sterile until autoclaved prior to use.
