Broth is typically made with meat and can contain a small amount of bones (think of the bones in a fresh whole chicken). Broth is typically simmered for a short period of time (45 minutes to 2 hours). It is very light in flavor, thin in texture and rich in protein.
Chicken broth and beef broth are among nutrients that most bacteria can use. In some recipes you may also add some mushroom extract. Sugar can also be added to some culture media. Small amounts of some minerals such as potassium phosphate and calcium carbonate may also be added to the culture media.
