The Thought Emporium

One of the first things you learn in microbiology is how to make media, and when you think about it, it makes sense. Microbes are tiny and only have what we give them. So if we don't provide what they need, they simply won't grow. Growing microbes can be very rewards wether you're making your own beer, or you're doing genetic engineering. In this video we explore the 5 different kinds of media and what goes into them. While the focus is on bacterial growth media, we also touch on what's needed to grow plant and animal cells. We'll be using the techniques in this video in the future when we start genetically engineering microbes to do everything from glow to change colors on cue.

Once we have our plates, we'll want to streak them with bacteria. To learn how head over to the scihouse channel to learn all about the process:
