Expert Solution
Step 1: Understanding the Medium Composition

The provided medium comprises several key components, as follows:

  • Beef extract: 3.0 g
  • Pancreatic digest of casein: 10.0 g
  • NaCl: 5.0 g
  • Agar: 4.0 g
  • Water: 1.0 L

The beef extract and pancreatic digest of casein are complex ingredients rich in nutrients like amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, while NaCl serves as a simple inorganic salt to maintain osmotic balance. Agar functions as a solidifying agent.
