Plated media refers to a type of growth medium used in microbiology, where a liquid nutrient solution is solidified with agar and poured into Petri dishes. This allows for the isolation and cultivation of microorganisms by providing a surface for colonies to grow. Plated media can be selective or differential, enabling researchers to identify specific types of bacteria based on their growth characteristics. Common examples include nutrient agar, blood agar, and MacConkey agar.
