The Löwenstein-Jensen medium, more commonly known as LJ medium, is a growth medium especially used for culture of Mycobacterium species, notably Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The medium must be incubated for a significant length of time, usually four weeks, due to the slow doubling time of M. tuberculosis (15-20 hours) compared with other bacteria.
Several new molecular technologies have emerged in recent years to secure more speedy confirmation of diagnosis:
-Polymerase chain reaction
-GeneXpert MTB/RIF
-Loop-mediated isothermal amplification

What is the scientific name for leprosy?
The scientific name for leprosy is Mycobacterium leprae. It is a slow-growing bacterium that affects the skin and nerves, causing skin lesions and nerve damage in severe cases.
Media preferred by Picasso?
Oil painting and any other media you can think of.
Why was Mycobacterium smegmatis used instead of Mycobacterium tuberculosis?
Mycobacterium smegmatis is a non pathogenic organism so it is used in labs to study about Mycobacterium tuberculosis .
What is growing media?
Growing media is something you put in a hydroponic system to stabilize the plants so they are not just there in the water.
Can bacteriological media be used for growing molds?
Yes, bacteriological media can be used for growing molds, but they may not always provide the optimal conditions for fungal growth. Molds typically require specific nutrients and environmental conditions, such as a higher carbohydrate concentration and a suitable pH level, which may not be adequately met by standard bacteriological media. Specialized media, such as potato dextrose agar or sabouraud dextrose agar, are often preferred for culturing molds to ensure better growth and development.
What bacteria cause leprosy?
Mycobacterium leprae.
Which does not belong actinomyces bacillus corynebacterium listeria mycobacterium?
mycobacterium
When was Mycobacterium pinnipedii created?
Mycobacterium pinnipedii was created in 2003.
Bacterial Generation time and example of fast growing bacteria and slow growing bacteria?
Bacterial generation time is the time is takes for a bacteria to double in quantity. An example of slow growing would be Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (24 hours) and fast growing would be E. Coli (about 20 minutes).
