A selective medium
A. Can never be a differential medium
B. contains a compound that allows visual identification of the ability to perform a specific biochemical process
C. Contains compounds that inhibit the growth of certain bacteria
D. Must contain bile salts, crystal violet and sheep blood
A selective medium contains compounds that inhibit the growth of certain bacteria. As the word “selective” says, this media is specially prepared to inhibit the growth of an undesired microorganism. It is usually used a antibiotic that could inhibit the specie that we do not want to isolate. The other options are more related with a differential media.

can somrone help me write an introduction for each agar. thank you

Introduction: Selective and differential media are used frequently in Microbiology Pathology Labs to identify a known group of bacteria from a complex mix of other bacteria. The medium is designed to select against as many of the background organisms as possible by using a medium in which they will not grow but the organisms under investigation can grow hence the "Selective" part of the name. Any assayable...
78 Exercise 7: Selective and Differential Growth Medium and Tests 1 have been identified. These arms are ganima prutenbacteria. Trods and oxidase negative There are also gram+ onanisms among our unknowns. The blochemical changes we aim to assess are most often mediated by bacterial enzymes and others are fermentations. Color and/or texture changes in the media will aid in the identification of the unknown. The bacterium can be different lated on the basis of their metabolic capacity to manifest biochemical...
Q14. In the lab info it says that as a rule, most microbes can adjust to a range of salt concentrations. 7/29/2019 Which cell structure allows microbes to physically withstand hypotonic environments? Cell wall MSA has two properties. It is both selective and differential. When bacteria grow on this media, there is a visible difference between bacteria that ferment mannitol, and the bacteria that do not See Figure 2 (a)-effects of selective/differential media. Q15. Which of the following is correct...
Background
Ques part 1)
Selective and differential media; EMB and Tsl agar bacill inhabit a wide range of environments. Many are significant pathogens, such a coli, Salmonella, Shigella, but many compose our normal flora and inhabit soil and water. Many gra negative bacilli that inhabit our large intestine are called enterics. Enteric pathogens are the most frequent cause of diarrheal illnesses and have become significant contaminants spread through foo Some can also cause respiratory and urinary infections. Experiment 1: EMB...

Lab Report-Carbohydrates 1. Purpose 2. Special Media for Isolating Bacteria (Lab #12) a. Why are dyes such as phenol red, eosin or methylene blue added to the media? b. How does the bacterium change the media (i.e color of agar or colonies) after incubation? C. In this experiment, which media are selective, and which are differential? d. How did the results observe on the mannitol salt agar and EMB agar correlate to the Gram reaction of the bacteria? e. What...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
