1. The differential aspect of MacConkey agar allows for the determination of which bacteria are lactose fermenters and which are not. 2. Blood agar is used to determine an organism's ability for hemolysis. Blood agar is differential in this regard. 3. EMB agar uses two dyes, eosin and methylene blue, to restrict the growth of gram-positive organisms, making this agar (EMB) in this regard. 4. Crystal violet dye in MacConkey agar will prevent some organisms from growing, making MacConkey agar in this regard. The crystal violet dye can also be used in the determination of the ability to ferment the carbohydrate in the agar; making MacConkey agar in this regard. 5. Use of an agar which contains an elevated amount of salt would allow some organisms to grow while preventing the growth of other organisms. This media would be considered selective

Microbial Growth

The development of microbial growth is influenced by various natural conditions (both physical and synthetic) like pH, temperature, saltiness, gas focus (O2, CO2, and H2), nutrients, water action, and assimilation. Knowing the distinctive physical and chemical factors that influence the development and endurance of microbial growth in the climate will assist with reinforcing endeavors outfitted towards their control. These lines lessen or diminish their harmful impacts on humankind, creatures, and the climate.
