What is TSA in microbiology?
Trypticase soy agar
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)
Why is a TSA used for the streak plate?
Tryptic soya agar plates are used for streaking as it is a very general agar (ie not selective) and it promotes the growth of a broad spectrum of micoorganisms
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
What else grows on an agar plate other than bacteria?
Theoretically, anything. As the agar is a non-selective agar many bugs can grow on nutrient agar. The only ones that can't are ones that have different growing conditions or different characteristics that makes it difficult or impossible to grow, but that is more uncommon.
What is TSA in microbiology?

Is a tsa agar selective or differential?
its a selective media
What is a TSA plate?
Trypticase soy agar (TSA) is a bacterial growth medium. It contains nutrients that allow bacteria to be incubated and observed. TSA is usually put into a petri dish and allowed to cool and harden. ==Contains:== • Tryptone • Soytone • Dextrose • NaCl (Sodium Chloride) •Dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4) • Agar

What is non selective media?
Non-selective is when we use agar for bacterial growth in general. Mean not to differentiate between them but just to see their colonies and growth. TSA and Chocolate agar are nonselective.
a.Why is Muller Hinton agar used in experiment described in lab lesson H instead of TSA?
. If Muller hinton agar is poured very thin , what would be the probable result wrt zone size?
Will s aureus grow on a crystal violet agar plate?
Yes. S. aureus can grow on TSA plate because this plate is general purpose medium and has most nutrient for bacteria growth.
