Description
العربية: يُضاف دم الغَنم إلى المستنبت بَهدف تحسين العناصر الغذائية اللازمة للنمو البكتيري، حيثُ يَقوم علماء المُختبر بزرع وتنمية أنواع بكتيرية مُختلفة على هذا المستنبت وغيره من المستنبتات بغرض المُساعدة في تقييم العدوى البشرية والحيوانية. تُظهر الصُورة اليُمنى نمو البكتيريا العقدية حالة الدم-بيتا، حيثُ تقوم بإنتاج مُركب حال يعمل على تَحليل كريات الدم الحمراء المُحيطة بكل مُستعمرة. المستنبت مبقع كما ينبغي للحصول على مستعمرات بكتيرية معزولة. أما الصُورة اليُسرى تُظهر نمو أنواع المكورات العنقودية، فالمستنبت مُبقع بشكلٍ كثيف بالتالي لا يُمكن الحصول على مستعمرات بكتيرية معزولة.
English: Sheep blood is added to growth media to enhance the nutrients available for bacterial growth. Laboratory scientists grow various bacteria on this medium as well as numerous other media, in order to help assess infections in humans and animals. The image on the right shows growth of a beta-hemolytic streptococcus. The bacterium has produced a hemolytic compound that has lysed the red blood cells surrounding each colony. The plate was properly streaked to attain isolated colonies. The plate on the left is growing a Staphylococcus species. The plate was streaked too heavily, so isolated colonies were not attained.
