Lab 5 Flashcards
_________ media: contains extra/higher concentrations of nutrients, vitamins, trace elements, and other growth factors that allow fastidious/finicky microbes to grow under lab conditions
Enriched
_________ media: Allows microbes to grow in such a way to allow them to be distiguished/categorized by their growth.
Differential
__________ media: has added chemicals that will inhibit the growth of some microbes but not others.
Selective
_________ media: contains chemical formulas which inhibit almost every microbes except one genus and/or a few species.
