Is phenylethyl alcohol agar differentia or selective?
Selective
Potassium tellurite agar?
Potassium tellurite agar is selective for the growth of Staphylococci and is somewhat selective for the growth of Corynebacteria. Staphylococci and Corynebacteria reduce the potassium tellurite in the agar, which makes the colonies grow black.
List selective media for stool culture?
Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar. XLD agar. Hekton enteric agar.
What are the selective media for isolation of thermophiles?
thermus agar
Why must use starch casein nitrate agar and what is the starch casein agar properties?

Is phenylethyl alcohol agar differentia or selective?

Composition of selective media?

WHAT IS sodium lactate?
Sodium lactate is a type of sodium salt of lactic acid. It is produced through fermentation and is used as a preservative.
Is glucose salts agar selective?
Glucose Salts Agar (GSA) is a selective agar that selects for gram-negative bacteria only. This means that no gram-positive bacteria will be able to grow on it.
What forms an electrolyte solution?
Salt in water is sodium. Ringer's lactate solution (sodium lactate solution and Hartmann's solution), is a mix of sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in water. Sodium Chloride is a mix of sodium and chloride.
Why is sodium lactate added to candy canes?

Is Mueller Hinton agar is selective media?
no
Potassium tellurite agar?
Potassium tellurite agar is selective for the growth of Staphylococci and is somewhat selective for the growth of Corynebacteria. Staphylococci and Corynebacteria reduce the potassium tellurite in the agar, which makes the colonies grow black.
List selective media for stool culture?
Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar. XLD agar. Hekton enteric agar.
Minimal salt agar that contains detergent as a carbon source is selective or differential?
Minimal salts agar is selective and differential. It grows gram positive bacteria and turns different color depending on what the specimen is.
