Culture Media
Growth in Continuous Culture
ƒ A “continuous culture” is an open system in which
fresh media is continuously added to the culture at
a constant rate, and old broth is removed at the
same rate.
ƒ This method is accomplished in a device called a
chemostat.
ƒ Typically, the concentration of cells will reach an
equilibrium level that remains constant as long as
the nutrient feed is maintained.

Some media are both selective and
differential
Selective and Differential Media
ƒ Mannitol salt agar is both selective and differential
ƒ Selective:
ƒ Staphylococcus aereus can grow on mannitol salt agar that has a
high concentration of salt; the growth of other organisms will be
inhibited
ƒ Differential:
ƒ Staphylococcus aureus ferments mannitol and the medium will
change color
ƒ Other organisms that grow on high salt will grow on mannitol salt
agar but may not ferment mannitol; the media will not change
colors
ƒ Mannitol Salt Agar

ƒ Assume a soil sample contains a few phenol-degrading
bacteria and thousands of other bacteria
ƒ Inoculate phenol-containing culture medium with the
soil and incubate
ƒ Transfer 1 ml to another flask of the phenol medium
and incubate
ƒ Transfer 1 ml to another flask of the phenol medium

ƒ A pure culture contains only one species or strain.
ƒ A colony is a population of cells arising from a single
cell or spore or from a group of attached cells.
