Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the purpose of different types of media used in microbiology and organic chemistry reactions.
Complex media provide a rich nutrient environment for the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms but do not favor any specific type.
Enriched media are supplemented with special nutrients to support the growth of fastidious organisms that require specific growth factors.
Selective media contain specific agents that inhibit the growth of certain bacteria while allowing others to grow, thus favoring the growth of specific bacteria.
Differential media are designed to distinguish between different types of bacteria based on their biological characteristics, but do not necessarily favor the growth of one over another.
