More Media Breakdown Flashcards
Media that allows for differentiation of microbial growth on a plate
Differential Media
Can Media be both selective and Differential?
Yes
Media that increases the NUMBER of target bacteria
Enrichment Media (usually broth and selective)
Growth of Chemoautotrophs and Photoautotrophs and Microbiological Assays
Chemically Defined Media
Growth of most Chemoheterotrophic organisms
Complex Media
Growth of Obligate anaerobes
Reducing Media
Suppression of unwanted microbes; encouraging desired microbes
Selective Media
Differentiation of colonies of desired microbes from others
Differential Media
Similar to Selective Media but designed to increase numbers of desired microbes to detectable levels
Enrichment Media
