What are the different types of media used for fungal growth?
Sabouraud Agar is used as a selective media to isolate yeasts and molds. generally, use a complex kind of media, involving plant or animal extracts.
Is the media for oxidase test selective or differential?
media used for oxidase test is non selective media
What are the selective media for isolation of thermophiles?
thermus agar
Is tryptone broth differential or selective media?
differential.
Compare simple media with differential media?
Differential media or selective media is an agar that has certain nutrient to grow certain microbes. Simple media is an agar that has simple sugars that many normal microbes thrive in.

What is the principle of selective media?
Scientists in a lab use selective media and differential media to identify or isolate organisms. Selective media allows only certain types of organisms to grow.
Is a tsa agar selective or differential?
its a selective media
What is enrichment medium and how does it differ from differential and selective media?
Selective media is one that grows only certain microorganisms while inhibiting (or preventing) others from growing, that is to say , the media has certain chemicals that allow one organism to grow but another organism cannot grow with those ingredients in the media, thus, is selective for the organisms that can grow in that media. Therefore, most commonly grows only one type of organism. Differential media is one that distinguishes one microorganism from another, it can grow more than one microorganism, but depending on how each organism reacts to the media (like turns red) it differentiates from another microorganism. In this type of media if you are trying to distinguish between 2 types of microorganisms, both should grow but they will have different reactions to the media, and thru their visible reactions you can tell them apart (differentiate them).
What is a broth?
The culture which contain an organism (bacterial colony) which you are required to grow in a broth media that is a media lacking solidifying agent agar. A pure culture should not contain other bacterial or fungal cells in it except the required or cultured one
Is Mueller Hinton agar is selective media?
no
What is a broth culture?
The culture which contain an organism (bacterial colony) which you are required to grow in a broth media that is a media lacking solidifying agent agar. A pure culture should not contain other bacterial or fungal cells in it except the required or cultured one
How do you recognize bacteria on agar plate and not confusing bacteria with eukaryotes like yeast or fungi?
Use selective media agar plates. Different types of agar will let bacteria grow and inhibit fungal growth, or vice versa.
How does selective media works in microbiology?
Selective media, is made up of certain nutrients that can either inhibit or enhance the growth of certain bacteria and or fungus. This is why they call it selective media, it is generally only selective for one kind of bacteria or does certain things when that bacteria or fungus is present.
Which type of culture media is best for the growth of most chemoheterotrophic organisms?
selective media
What the B subtilis selective media?
nutrient Agar
