ABSTRACT<br/>BACKGROUND: The microbiology department in medical laboratories requires effective methods to cultivate diverse bacterial species. This study explored the potential of Opuntia ficus indica (Prickly Pear Cactus) sap as a plant-based culture medium, which could be more accessible and environmentally friendly.<br/>METHOD: This study utilized Three experimental plated mediums: Plate 1, comprising 1000 Ml distilled water and 25g of plant saps; Plate 2, consisting of 1000 mL distilled water and 30g of plant saps; and Plate 3, a modified solution of 970 mL distilled water, 25g of plant saps, and an additional 6g of agar. The physical properties of these media—color, transparency, and<br/>consistency—were observed. The consistency was rated on a scale where 1 indicated a watery consistency, and 4-5 indicated solidification. An independent T-test compared the plant-based media with traditional Nutrient agar, using a significance threshold of p < 0.05.<br/>RESULTS: Both Plate 1 and Plate 2, with increasing concentrations of cactus sap, resulted in a liquid medium. Plate 3, which included agar, produced a viscous medium. None of the media supported bacterial colony formation due to their liquid or viscous states.<br/>CONCLUSION: The results of these experiments indicate that the cactus sap remained liquid across trials without agarose, indicating it lacked necessary gelling agents. While Opuntia ficus indica sap showed potential as a component in culture media, it cannot independently function as a culture medium for bacterial growth without modification or the addition of external gelling agents.<br/>Keywords: cactus sap, gelation properties, nutrient agar, plant-based culture media<br/><br/> |
