General Cultivation of Bacteria: Nonselective medium for robust growth of a wide range of organisms, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis.

Isolation and Colony Morphology: Streak plating to obtain isolated colonies and assess pigmentation, size, and texture.

Enumeration and Bioburden Testing: Colony counting from water, environmental, and process samples for microbial load assessment.

Environmental Monitoring: Settle plates, active air sampling, and surface contact plates for cleanroom and facility monitoring.

Stock Culture Maintenance: Routine subculture on plates or slants to maintain laboratory strains.

Purity Checks: Verification of culture purity and detection of contaminants in microbial workflows.

Food, Beverage, and Cosmetics Testing: Aerobic plate counts and microbial limits testing of raw materials and finished products.

Clinical and Research Sample Processing: Nonselective recovery of organisms from mixed or stressed samples prior to further testing.

Base for Enriched Media: Foundation for blood agar (e.g., addition of 5% defibrinated sheep blood) and other supplements.

Sanitizer/Disinfectant Efficacy Studies: Recovery medium in neutralized assays for evaluating surface decontamination.

Teaching and Training Labs: Demonstrations of aseptic technique, streaking, and colony counting exercises.
