Answer:A culture or growth medium

Explanation: A culture or growth medium contains essential nutrients that aids in the growth of microorganisms. A culture medium can be in liquid form or solid form. It is very important to make sure that a culture or growth medium is sterile and free from any form of contamination. The main function and importance of a culture or growth medium is to ensure that microorganisms grow in a sterile environment that has all the major and essential nutrients required for their growth and to preserve them against any form of harm or contamination such that when these organisms are needed they can be used.

Answer: MEDIUM

A sterile substance that allows for microorganism multiplication is known as a medium.

Explanation: A medium is a microbiological substance either solid or liquid that is used to grow bacteria.

A medium contains everything a bacteria needs to grow outside the body and under laboratory conditions. It is made free of all forms of viable microbes(sterile) and enriched with special growth factors that aid in the growth of organisms that have complex or distinct nutritional requirements.

These nutrients may be organic substances such as blood, serum extracts of animals,plants or yeast, meat extracts(cell secretions), or haemoglobin.
