Description
Nutrient Broth is a general liquid medium for cultivating a wide variety of non-fastidious microorganisms.
Beef extract and peptone supply amino acids, nitrogen, carbon, vitamins and minerals, yeast extract supplies additional vitamins and sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance.
The sample is inoculated into the broth and incubated at 35 ± 2°C for approximately 18–24 hours. Turbidity indicates microbial growth.
