There are media that can be both differential and selective. what are 3 examples and the function of each one of them?
Microorganisms, like bacteria, require a culture medium to grow. The culture medium is a nutritious medium that supports the growth of microorganisms. There are different types of medium, the medium of known chemical composition is known as a chemically defined. While the medium of unknown composition is known as a complex medium.
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- What is the difference between selective and differential media? Give one example of each.What is selective and differential media? describe their purpose.What type pof media encourages the growth of some organisms but suppresses the growth of others? TSA, selective media, differential media, enrichment media
- What additional information can you get by using selective and differential media that you cannot get by using a general media (like TSA)?Explain the Comparison of selective and differential media with general purpose media.Compare and contrast complex, chemically defined, selective, and differential media.
- Define differential media and selective media.Is nutrient agar (NA) a complex or defined medium? Explained based on its composition. Is NA a differential, selective, neither differential nor selective media? Explaining based on what kind of Organism it allows to grow?It may seem contradictory that lyophilization can be used to preservefoods yet also be used to keep cultures of microbes viable. Explainhow these applications can be reconciled.
