Culture, culture media and culture characteristics & Bacterial growth curve Flashcards
-used for appropriate growth, transport and storage of microorganisms outside the host
-utilized to observe growth patterns of microorganism
culture medium
mixture of nutrients:
carbon
hydrogen
oxygen
nitrogen
sulfur
phosphorus
buffer
(CHONSPB)
culture medium
-dyes and antimicrobials
-may be added to medium to isolate and suppress growth of other microorganism
inhibitory agents
growth of microorganism on a culture medium
culture
type of culture:
composed of only one specie
pure culture
type of culture:
more than one specie
mixed culture
type of culture:
-several species contained in a separate culture medium
-grown in volume
-academic and industrial purposes
stock culture
culture medium according to consistency:
contain 0% agar
liquid medium
culture medium according to consistency:
0.5-1% agar
eg: SIM
semi-solid medium
culture medium according to consistency:
2-3% agar
eg: TSI, CAP
solid medium
sulfated polymer derived from red algae
agar
culture medium according to composition:
medium where all components are KNOWN
synthetic/defined medium
culture medium according to composition:
composed of some UNKNOWN substances, for isolation
non-synthetic/complex medium
culture medium according to composition:
used for obligate intracellular bacteria
tissue culture medium
culture medium according to use:
-routinely used without added supplement
-growth of NONFASTIDIOUS bacteria
simple/general purpose/supportive media
culture medium according to use:
Nutrient agar (NA)
tyrpticase soy broth (TSB)
simple/general purpose/supportive media
culture medium according to use:
-contains specific nutrients
-LIQUID-type media
enrichment broth
culture medium according to use:
-added supplements necessary for growth of FASTIDIOUS organism
-SOLID-type media
enriched media/non selective media
culture medium according to use:
BAP
CAP
enriched media/non selective media
standard nonselective culture medium
BAP
with horse blood used for isolation of Haemophilus
CAP
allows visualization of metabolic differences between groups of bacteria
differential media
differentiates lactose fermenters (PINK) from non lactose fermenters (COLORLESS)
