What is the material used as a base for bacterial culture media?
The substance is Agar or Agar-Agar
How and why does the agar concentration in semisolid media differ from conventional solid media?
Semisolid media contains a 1.5% concentration of agar, which is used to grow and select isolated colonies. Semisolid media contains agar at a lower concentration (around 0.4%,) which is used for motility studies.
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.
List selective media for stool culture?

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 general purpose media in microbiology?
general purpose medium is a media that provides enough nutrients in which most any microorganism will utilize for growth. Allows for a wide variety of microorganisms to grow. It can be used for a wide range of applications including; culture storage, enumeration (counting), isolation of pure cultures or simply general culture. e.g. Tryptocase Soy Agar (TSA) Tryptocase Soy Broth (TSB) Nutrient Agar
Agar media required for growth of Neisseria meningitidis?
sheep blood agarchocolate agar
Blood agar and chocolate agar are types of enriched media that inhibit certain?
bacteria
List selective media for stool culture?
Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar. XLD agar. Hekton enteric agar.
What is enrichment media in microbiology?
Enriched media is different from Enrichment media... Enriched media: Blood and other special nutrients may be added to general purpose media to encourage the growth of fastidious microbes. These specially forfited media are called as enriched media. e.g. Blood agar, Chocolate agar. Enrichment media: This is a media which promotes the growth of a particular organism by providing it with the essential nutrients and rarely contains certain inhibitory substance to prevent the growth of normal competitors. e.g. Selenite F broth- this media favours thegrowth of Salmonella also prevents the growth of normal competitors like E. coli . but E.Coli do not perish in the medium but they do not flourish like Salmonella
