Caption:
This inoculated trypticase soy broth (TSB) agar cultivated colonial growth of Enterobacter sakazakii bacteria that were slightly yellowish in color. TSB agar is a general-purpose enrichment broth used when attempting to isolate a wide variety of microorganisms. It contains a number of amino acids provided by its casein and soybean constituents. This culture was used in a presentation involving the description of the steps taken when attempting to define a new taxonomic species. The culturing of a new organism, using different agar media, photomicrographs, and chemical analyses are all tools used in the taxonomic investigative process.
