A culture medium consisting of agar, human blood, and beef heart is a Complex Medium
A microbial culture medium is a mixture of substances that promotes and supports the growth and differentiation of microorganisms. Culture media contain nutrients, energy sources, growth-promoting factors, minerals, metals, buffer salts, and gelling agents (for solid media). The sophisticated formulations of our culture media ensure precise, reproducible, and repeatable microbiological test results. Culture media are still the golden standard in pharmaceutical and food and beverage industry to enumerate and detect microorganisms. Microbial culture media can be prepared as a liquid (broth), a solid (agar plates), or as a semi-solid (deeps). Solid and semi-solid media contain a solidifying agent such as agar or gelatine.
Complex media are rich in nutrients that contain water soluble extracts of plant or animal tissue (e.g., enzymatically digested animal proteins such as peptone and tryptone). Usually a sugar, often glucose, is added to serve as the main carbon and energy source.
