Liquid medium
A liquid medium is a liquid environment used to support the growth or transportation of microorganisms, cells, or particles. It contains nutrients and other essential components that sustain life and promote activity. In laboratories, liquid media help scientists cultivate bacteria or cells for research, testing, and diagnosis. It provides a controlled environment that allows organisms to thrive, reproduce, or be studied effectively. Think of it as a nourishing "soup" that offers the necessary conditions for biological processes to occur in a laboratory setting.
