Difco Nutrient Media

Difco nutrient media are the basis for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. They are complex mixtures of chemicals that provide optimal conditions for metabolic processes in microorganisms. In addition, they can contain nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates and amino acids for better functioning of microorganisms. During culture cultivation, microorganisms grow on the surface of the nutrient medium, producing synthesis products that can be analyzed and used as indicators of the physiological state of the colony. Nutrient media can be standardized and ready-to-use, or developed individually for specific species
