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.
Selective media allows only one type of microbe to grow while suppressing others. It is easier to choose which microbe is causing a problem and then allowing for treatment.

what do you mean? I would say yes. The main types of culture media are Enriched media Differential media Selective media Characterisation media.
Peptone glucose agar (PGA) medium
media used for oxidase test is non 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.
its a selective media
it is a type of media used for the growth of obligate anaerobes.
no
Mannitol Salt Agar is selective for staphylococci as the high salt (sodium chloride) levels prohibit most other bacteria from surviving and it is differential as Staphylococci ferment mannitol, producing acid, lowering the pH and turning the media yellow. The development of yellow media presumes the bacteria to be pathogenic Staphylococcus (usually S. aureus). From A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory by Leboffe and Pierce.

differential.
media used for isolation and identification of unknown microorganism. this is enriched type of media. we can isolate microorganism from air , water and soil.
