Gram negative gastrointestinal bacteria, colonies such as E.coli can usually be isolated on simple agar plates, incubated at roughly 37 degrees.

Other plates can be used if you want to isolate certain aspects of the colony, but usually agar is the first choice.

Can you elimintate gram positive bacteria from a gram positive gram negative mixture with mild detergent treatment?

AnswerYou can use a "selective" medium that will inhibit the growth of Gram positive bacteria and only allow Gram negative bacteria to multiply. A medium which is commonly used for this is the McConkey agar which contains a crystal violet strain and allows only Gram negative cultures to grow.You can also eliminate Gram positive bacteria with antibiotics (e.g. ampicillin) provided that they are sensitive and not resistant.
