Culture Media

Culture media are special substances used in laboratories to grow and support microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses. They provide essential nutrients, vitamins, and the right conditions for these organisms to thrive. Scientists use culture media to study how these microorganisms behave, test their reactions to different substances, or identify diseases. These mediums can be solid, like agar plates, or liquid, like broth, depending on the research needs. By observing how microorganisms grow in culture media, researchers gain valuable insights into health, food safety, and environmental science.
