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 are the two principal functions of dyes in media?
dyes are used for staining and killing microbes
What is the difference between a nutrient broth and media?
there's an excellent explanation here http://forums.biotechinstitute.org/showthread.php?t=93
Why shouldn't you dig into agar with the loop?
Streaking is to produce single colonies. If we are digging to the agar while streaking the microbes, instead of growing on the agar surface grows in the subsurface as well. These colonies may be difficult to isolate.
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

What is undefined medium?
Undefined(or complex media) are composed of extracts from plant or animal sources and are rich in nutrients. The exact composition and amount of ingredients are unknown. Undefined media are also great for growing the greatest variety of cultural microbes.
What microbes grow on solid media?
coliphages of bacteriophage are seen in solid media
What is a simple media?
In this media non-complicated ingredients are used to support the growth of microbes
What type of media is used to demonstrate oxygen requirements of microbes?
thioglycollate
What media used to maintain microbes for long periods?
by subculture into non selective media such as soya broth or brain heart
What are the two principal functions of dyes in media?
dyes are used for staining and killing microbes
What is growing media?
Growing media is something you put in a hydroponic system to stabilize the plants so they are not just there in the water.
What are the aerobic and anaerobic culture media?
an aerobic culture is the one which requires oxygen for the growth of microbes
