The 5 I’s of Culturing Microbes
1. Inoculation – introduction of a sample into a container of media to produce a cultureof observable growth
2. Isolation –separating one species from another
3. Incubation – under conditions that allow growth
4. Inspection5. Identification
Isolation• If an individual bacterial cell is separated
from other cells and has space on a nutrient surface, it will grow into a mound of cells - a colony.
• A colony consists of one species.
• A colony consists of millions cells

Media: Providing Nutrients in the Laboratory
Media can be classified according to threeproperties:1. Physical state – liquid, semisolid and solid
2. Chemical composition – synthetic (chemically defined) and nonsynthetic(complex)
3. Functional type – general purpose, enriched, selective, differential, anaerobic, transport, assay, enumeration
Media: Providing Nutrients in the Laboratory
• Most commonly used media:–nutrient broth – liquid medium
containing beef extract and peptone–nutrient agar – solid media
containing beef extract, peptone and agar
Media: Providing Nutrients in the Laboratory
• Synthetic – contains pure organic and inorganic compounds in an exact chemical formula
• Complex or nonsynthetic – contains at least one ingredient that is not chemically definable
• General purpose media- grows a broad range of microbes, usually nonsynthetic
• Enriched media- contains complex organic substances such as blood, serum, hemoglobin or special growth factors required by fastidious microbes
• Selective media- contains one or more agents that inhibit growth of some microbes and encourage growth of the desired microbes
• Differential media – allows growth of several types of microbes and displays visible differences among desired and undesired microbes
Media: Providing Nutrients in the Laboratory
Miscellaneous Media
• Reducing medium – contains a substance that absorbs oxygen or slows penetration of oxygen into medium; used for growing anaerobic bacteria
• Carbohydrate fermentation medium –contains sugars that can be fermented, converted to acids, and a pH indicator to show the reaction; basis for identifying bacteria and fungi

Incubation, Inspection, and Identification
Incubation – temperature-controlled chamber at appropriate temperature and atmosphere– microbe multiplies and produces macroscopically
observable growth
Inspection – observation; macroscopic and microscopic– pure culture – grows only single known species of
microorganisms
– mixed cultures – hold two or more identified species or microorganisms
– contaminated culture – once pure or mixed culture that has unwanted microbes growing
Incubation, Inspection, and Identification
Identification – macroscopic and microscopic appearance, biochemical tests, genetic characteristics, immunological testing

Specimen Preparation for Optical Microscopes
• Wet mounts and hanging drop mounts – allow examination of characteristics of live cells: motility, shape, and arrangement
• Fixed mounts are made by drying and heating a film of specimen. This smear is stained using dyes to permit visualization of cells or cell parts.
Staining
Dyes create contrast by imparting a color to cells or cell parts.
• Basic dyes - cationic, with positive charges on the chromophore
• Acidic dyes - anionic, with negative charges on the chromophore
• Positive staining – surfaces of microbes are negatively charged and attract basic dyes
• Negative staining – microbe repels dye, the dye stains the background
Staining
• Simple stains – one dye is used; reveals shape, size, and arrangement
• Differential stains – use a primary stain and a counterstain to distinguish cell types or parts (examples: gram stain, acid-fast stain and endospore stain)
• Special stains – reveal certain cell parts not revealed by conventional methods: capsule and flagellar stains
