culture medium
Microbes that are introduced into a culture medium to initiate growth
inoculum
the needs are complex; exceptional media components must be used for growth
fastidious
the nutritional needs are relatively basic
nonfastidious
types of culture:
pure, mix and stock
one genus
pure culture
more than 2 genus and species
mix culture
for academic/industrial purposes
stock culture
when their contents are allowed to solidify with the tube held at an angle so that a large surface area for
growth is available
agar slant
when the agar solidifies in a vertical tube
Broth
agar deep
contains nutrients for bacterial growth
COMPLEX MEDIA or NON-SYNTHETIC MEDIA

amino acids, peptides and proteases(large sized
peptides).
peptone
source of carbon and energy assist in the
differentiation of bacteria
