These media are designed to grow a broad spectrum of microbes that do not have special growth requirements.
General purpose
These media contain complex organic substances such as growth factors that are required for the microbes to grow.
Enriched
These media contain substances that absorb oxygen or slow the penetration of oxygen.
Anaerobic growth
This type of media is used to maintain and preserve the microbe for a period of time before testing
Specimen transport
This type of media contains one or more agents that inhibit the growth of certain microbes but not another.
Selective
This type of media can grow several types of microbes but are designed to bring out visible differences among those microbes.
Differential
This type of media is used to count the number of microbes in agricultural, industrial or environmental samples.
Enumeration
This type of media is used to test the effectiveness of antimicrobial drugs, disinfectants and antiseptics.
Assay
This type of media contain pure chemical nutrients that vary little from one source to another and have a molecular content with an exact formula.
Synthetic media
This type of media is not chemically definable by an exact formula.
Nonsynthetic media
This type of media has large molecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids that can vary greatly in exact composition.

This colony morphology type in broth results in microbial growth found on the top of liquid broth surface.
Pellicle
No growth in liquid broth results in a
Clear tube
