trypticase soy agar is an example of a ____ medium Correct Ans-rich (undefined)
most bacteria grow well on ____ media Correct Ans-rich
a ____ medium is one that only allows the growth of certain kinds of bacteria Correct Ans-
selective
an example of selective media is that eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar contains chemicals
that are usually toxic to Gram-positive bacteria; this means that usually only Gram-____
bacteria can grow on EMB agar Correct Ans-negative
an example of selective media is that mannitol salt agar (MSA) contains a high concentration
of salt that selects for the growth of halophiles; the media usually discourages the growth of
Gram-____ bacterial cells and encourages the growth of Gram-____ bacteria, especially
bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus Correct Ans-negative
positive

there are even selective agars that discourage ____ growth; Sabouraud's agar is toxic to
bacteria but supports the growth of fungi Correct Ans-bacterial
a ____ medium is one that, in some way, shows a difference between the colonies of
organisms that grow on the medium Correct Ans-differential
an example of differential media is that on EMB agar, the colonies of organisms that ferment
lactose appear ____, while the colonies of non-fermenters will be white or pale ____
Correct Ans-purple
pink
on some differential agars, there is a change in the color of the colonies; on other differential
agars the color of the ____ itself may change; differential media can be very helpful in
identifying bacteria Correct Ans-agar
glucose mineral salt agar (GMS) is a ____, chemically defined medium; to survive, organisms
need to make all their cellular components from ____ and the inorganic salts that are in the
