Nährunterlage
Nährunterlage, also known as growth medium or culture medium, is a nutrient-rich solution or gel used to support the growth of microorganisms, cells, or tissues in a laboratory setting. It is a fundamental component in various biological and biomedical research techniques, including microbiology, cell culture, and tissue engineering. Nährunterlagen are typically composed of a base medium, which provides essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals, and additional supplements that may include vitamins, amino acids, and growth factors. The composition of a Nährunterlage can vary depending on the specific requirements of the organism or cells being cultured. For example, some Nährunterlagen are designed for aerobic growth, while others are formulated for anaerobic conditions. Nährunterlagen are commonly used in techniques such as agar plating, liquid culture, and bioreactors. They play a crucial role in maintaining the health and viability of cultured microorganisms, cells, or tissues, and in facilitating the study of their growth, metabolism, and interactions with other biological components.
