Media are used to grow bacterial colonies (millions of bacteria having arisen through the binary fission of a single progenitor). Article Summary: Blood Agar is a bacterial growth medium that can distinguish normal from pathogenic bacteria based on the effect of bacterial hemolytic exotoxins on red blood cells.
Agar is the jelly-like substance used to culture bacteria. It is made from a type of red algae which provides an ideal growing surface for many different types of bacteria. Some types of agar contain added nutrients (such as sheep's blood) which help to promote more vigorous bacterial growth.
