Solution
The answer is True: Tryptic soy broth (TSB) is an example of an all-purpose medium meant to support the growth of a large variety of organisms.
Explanation:
Tryptic soy broth (TSB) is a nutrient-rich medium that provides a wide range of nutrients, making it suitable for the growth of many different types of bacteria and fungi. It is commonly used in microbiology laboratories for culturing a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
The formulation of TSB includes tryptone, soy peptone, sodium chloride, and other nutrients that create an environment conducive to the growth of both fastidious and non-fastidious organisms.
Therefore, TSB is considered an all-purpose or general-purpose medium, supporting the growth of a diverse array of microbial species.
