Selective Media (e.g. Lowenstein-Jensen media) - This type of media is used to grow specific types while prohibiting others. Transport Media (e.g. Amies medium) Transport media are particularly useful in instances where the sample has to be preserved. This also prevents the bacteria from ...
Transport media are typically buffer solutions with minimum nutrients like carbohydrates, peptones, and salts, excluding growth factors. Some also contain selective inhibitory components. Due to this minimum nutrient and lack of carbon, nitrogen, and organic growth factors, microorganisms present in the ...
Nanoparticles and nanofillers have undergone substantial research and are known to have profound industrial applications due to their significant reduction in the cost of production and modification of properties. In this review, a thorough review of nanoparticles and nanofillers is performed. The differe...

Answer the following questions regarding the microbiology lab.\\ 1. What is the difference between broth and agar culture media? \\ 2. What is agar and why is it used in the preparation for culture media? \\ 3. How can we sterilize the prepared media, and ...
Microorganisms play a vital role in soil biogeochemical cycling, and the potential impact of MPs on microbial diversity and function has been the subject of intense interest in recent years. Soil microbiology research tends to focus on the taxonomic composition, functional gene potential, and the bio...
What are the morphological types of bacteria in microbiology? Bacteria: Bacteria are a group of unicellular, prokaryotic microorganism which exhibit several kinds of morphological structures. These morphological structures are determined by a gene called MreB. ...
Modern microbiology provides evidence for the existence of irreducibly complex systems. The presence of selective breeding poses a significant challenge to the theory of natural selection.
