In the history…
Robert Koch- described his culture techniques in 1881.
Fanny/Frau Hesse- suggested the use of agar.
Richard Julius Petri- invented the glass Petri dishes.
Joseph Lister- the first person to obtain a pre culture of bacterium (Streptococcus lactis) in a liquid medium.
Classification of Culture Media Based on Whether the Exact Contents are Known
Chemically defined media- exact chemical composition is known
Complex media- exact contents are not known, from extracts and digests of yeasts, meat, or plants
Liquid and Solid Media
Liquid media- or broths are contained in tubes, referred to as tubed media.
Solid media- prepared by adding agar to liquid media and then poured into test tubes or Petri dishes, where the media solidifies.
Agar plate - one grown on a medium, usually agar or gelatin, on a Petri dish
Agar slant - one made on a slanting surface of a solidified medium in a tube, the tube being tilted to provide a greater surface area for growth.
Agar butt/deep - one in which a tube of solid medium is inoculated by a needle thrust deep into the contents.
Bacterial Media
Selective
Differential
Enriched
Selective Medium
Has added inhibitors that discourage the growth of certain organisms without inhibiting growth of the organism being sought.
Solid medium is employed with selective medium so that individual colonies may be isolated.
Examples:
MacConkey agar- screen for S. aureus and is selective for Gram (-) bacteria.
Phenylethyl alcohol agar (PEA) and colistin-nalidixic acid agar (CNA)- inhibit growth of Gram (-) bacteria.
Thayer-Martin agar and Martin-Lewis agar- selective for N. gonorrhoeae.
Mannitol salt agar (MSA)- only for salt-tolerant (haloduric) bacteria
Eosin methylene blue agar (EMB) – selective against gram-positives
MacConkey agar E. coli on EMB
Differential Medium
Permits the differentiation of organisms that grow on the medium.
Reveals the presence of 2 or more similar microorganisms by differences in the appearance of their colonies.
Examples:
MacConkey agar- used to differentiate various Gram (-) bacilli that are isolated from fecal spcimens.
Gram (-) bacteria are able to ferment lactose produces pink colonies, those are unable to ferment lactose produce colorless colonies.
Differentiates between LF and NLF Gram (-) bacteria.
Mannitol salt agar- used to screen for S. aureus, pink to yellow.
Centrimide agar - used for the differentiation of strains of Pseudomonas spp.
P. aeruginosa on centrimide agar
Two different species of Staphylococcus growing on mannitol salt agar (MSA).
Enriched Medium
Broth or solid medium containing rich supply of special nutrients that promotes the growth of fastidious organisms.
Prepared by adding extra nutrients to a medium called nutrient agar.
Liquid and Solid Media
Liquid media- or broths are contained in tubes, referred to as tubed media.
Solid media- prepared by adding agar to liquid media and then poured into test tubes or Petri dishes, where the media solidifies.
Agar plate - one grown on a medium, usually agar or gelatin, on a Petri dish
