A selective media

Question

a) inhibit the growth of certain bacteria while allowing others to grow

b) allow for visual distinction of the ability to perform a specific biochemical process

c) Will only grow Gram-positive bacteria

d) allow just the bacteria to grow

Answer 1

The answer is A, I always mark it "selective" indicating that it selects for specific bacteria to grow on it. Other media types could "differential" media, which differentiates between the types of bacteria using chemical processes. Hope that's helpful!
