There are various types of nutrient broth, some selective, some not so. They are basically a liquid culture medium to enhance the growth of mircoorganisms from a sample, be it a human clincal sample, food, environmental sample or whatever. After the nutrient broth has been inoculated with the foresaid sample, it is generally incubated for a given length of time to encourage the growth of whatever is in the sample then identified.

∙ 10y agoIn most experiments in which microorganisms are being grown, nutrient broth is used. This is because, nutrient broth (as the term eludes to) has nutrients/food which the microorganisms can feed on and grow. There are different types of nutrients contained in the broth, depending on the type of microorganisms that the researcher is trying to grow or isolate. Sterile, just means that the nutrient broth has undergone a process where by all living cells or organisms that may be in the nutrient broth have been killed. This is done so that when you asceptically innoculate that broth with a microorganism of your choice, there are no other living cells present to contaminate and or grow with your microbes. These unwanted microbes could inhibit or kill the microbes that you are trying to grow.
Hope this helps.
All the Best

Why is nutrient broth better than peptone broth?
Nutrient broth contains beef extract which acts as sources of amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, organic acids, vitamins and mineralsthat peptone broth don't contain? :)
Bacteria containing a plasmid into which the eukaryotic gene has integrated would grow where?
the ampicillin broth and the nutrient broth
Why does nutrient broth go cloudy?
Nutrient broth becoming cloudy in appearance is usually a good indication that one or more cultures of bacteria or fungi has grown in the broth. This can be confirmed by viewing a sample of the broth under a simple light microscope, or by streaking a sample onto nutrient agar and incubating it to see if colonies become visible (usually within a few days).
Do you expect turbidity in the unsterilized nutrient broth that was incubated?
Yes, the turbidity in the unsterilized nutrient is supposed to be incubated, Incubation will give the desired and correct results.
What will result when 1 to 5 agar is added to nutrient broth boiled and cooled?
Solid medium
What would be a nitrogen source for the nutrient broth or agar?
the east extract is the main source of nitrogen in the nutrient broth or agar
Why is nutrient broth better than peptone broth?
Nutrient broth contains beef extract which acts as sources of amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, organic acids, vitamins and mineralsthat peptone broth don't contain? :)
Does Bacillus subtilis grow in MacConkey broth?
Bacillus subtilis is grown on nutrient agar or in nutrient broth. The preferred medium is M9 with glucose.
What are the essential ingredients of a carbohydrate broth?
nutrient broth + 0.5% particular carbohydrate + indicator
Is it necessary to cook the nutrient broth?
To destroy any competitors for the broth, fungi and bacteria.
Is nutrient broth suitable for the growth of fungal species?
NO
Bacteria containing a plasmid into which the eukaryotic gene has integrated would grow where?
the ampicillin broth and the nutrient broth
Use of sodium chloride in nutrient broth?
Nutrient broth is a liquid used to grow bacterial cultures and the amount of sodium chloride is a solution of 0.90% w/v of NaCl.
Why does nutrient broth go cloudy?
Nutrient broth becoming cloudy in appearance is usually a good indication that one or more cultures of bacteria or fungi has grown in the broth. This can be confirmed by viewing a sample of the broth under a simple light microscope, or by streaking a sample onto nutrient agar and incubating it to see if colonies become visible (usually within a few days).
When you examined your incubated nutrient broth tube you compared it to an uninoculated broth tube The uninoculated tube was a control What is control?
no
What is the source of mineral elements like calcium that bacteria obtain in nutrient broth?
A nutrient broth is contains substances that are required for the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria. The bacteria obtain their minerals and vitamins from peptone, meat and yeast extract that comprise the broth.
Why you think the appearance of the nutrient broth changed following incubation?
