What is TSA in microbiology?
Trypticase soy agar
A bacterial species that grows on blood agar but will not grow on trypticase soy agar is termed an anaerobe?
false
Does Corynebacterium xerosis grow in trypticase soy broth?
Well, the majority of the bacteria in the Cornyebacterium family grows best on Brain Hear infusion agar, however it can grow on trypricase soy agar. We hope so, or else our experiment fails xD
How long does it take non pathogenic Serratia Marcescens D1 to grow and can you use nutrient agar as a medium?
Two days at room temperature on TSA (tryptic soy agar)
What is general purpose media in microbiology?
general purpose medium is a media that provides enough nutrients in which most any microorganism will utilize for growth. Allows for a wide variety of microorganisms to grow. It can be used for a wide range of applications including; culture storage, enumeration (counting), isolation of pure cultures or simply general culture. e.g. Tryptocase Soy Agar (TSA) Tryptocase Soy Broth (TSB) Nutrient Agar
Is E. coli white or buff color on tryptic soy agar?
E. coli is actually green on tryptic soy agar. The agar itself is a white, amber color.
What is TSA in microbiology?
Trypticase soy agar
A bacterial species that grows on blood agar but will not grow on trypticase soy agar is termed an anaerobe?
false
A common medium used for growing fastidious bacteria is?
Blood Agar, and trypticase soy agar grows semi fastidious
Is it possible to melt a tryptic soy agar slant to make a tryptic soy broth?
No. Agar is a solid at room temperature and would just become solid again. A TSB does not contain agar and therefore can be liquid at room temperature.

What does Proteus vulgaris look like on a Tryptic Soy Agar media?
It swarms the whole plate.

Why is Tryptic soy agar considered a complex medium?
It's complex because the constituent elements of the medium (enzymatic digests of casein and soybean) are present in an undefined amount, and an amount which will vary from batch to batch. Contrast this to a chemically defined medium which will always contain the exact amount of constituent.
Agar agar grain found in Germany?
Agar, or agar-agar, is not a grain, but rather an extract of seaweed. Agar translates to German as Agar-Agar Try whole- or health-food stores
Why is it important that the Tryptic Soy Agar slant be inoculated with a pure bacterial culture instead of a mixed culture?
So that you can be sure that the results are due only to one specific species.
