C'est un milieu de culture microbiologique d'utilisation générale (non sélectif) servant à cultiver une large gamme de micro-organismes (bactéries aérobies, anaérobies ou micro-aérophiles). Il est empirique (on ne connaît pas sa composition avec précision puisqu'il n'est pas purement synthétique). Celui fabriqué par les laboratoires Sigma-Aldrich contient des peptones, des extraits de bœuf, de levure et de malt, ainsi que du dextrose, de l'acide ascorbique et de l'eau distillée. Tous ces ingrédients offrent un milieu favorable à la prolifération de diverses bactéries. De l'agar est ajouté, ce qui distingue celui-ci d'un bouillon. 1, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9lose%20toutes%20cultures
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Il convient de rappeler qu'il n'existe pas de milieu de culture universel et que certaines bactéries ne peuvent croître sur les milieux gélosés peptonés conventionnels (Bianchi et Bianchi, 1972). 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9lose%20toutes%20cultures
