Claim Text:
1. A substrate intended for use as a culture medium, the substrate comprising: (i) a skeleton of said substrate and representing more than 70% of a total volume of said substrate, said skeleton being composed of particles with a granulometry greater than 100 μm, said particles being selected from the group consisting of hard particles, resilient particles and any mixture thereof; (ii) particulate elements with a granulometry of less than 100 μm, said particulate elements constituting from 0 to 450 g/l of said substrate; (iii) fine fibres with a length of between 3 mm and 100 mm and a diameter of between 5 μm and 35 μm, said fine fibres constituting from 0 to 200 g/l of said substrate; and (iv) inclusions selected from elongated inclusions, surface inclusions and a mixture thereof, said inclusions having their largest dimension at least 10 times greater than their smallest dimension and at least 10 times greater than a mean granulometry of said particles of said skeleton of the substrate, a total quantity of said fine fibres and said inclusions being greater than 0.5 g/l of said substrate.
