In microbiology, there are different classes of media that are used for the cultivation, isolation, and identification of microorganisms. These media can be classified based on their composition, purpose, and physical properties. Here are some common classes of media in microbiology: a. Nutrient Media b. Selective Media c. Differential Media d. Enrichment Media e. Differential and Selective Media f. Transport Media g. Anaerobic Media 1. Give samples of the various media classes indicated above and briefly explore their uses.

Which specific example of a functional medium would you use to grow microbesfrom the following samples? Explain why it would be appropriate based on itsa. Air sample for bacteria:b. Sample from behind the ear for microbes:c. Sample from table top for fungi:
A. Antibiotics, such as gentamicin, are used in media to prevent growth of susceptible microbes. Is gentamicin media a selective, differential or enrichment media? B. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that all Escherichia bacteria can normally ferment into an acidic waste compound. This acidic end product is detected by including a pH indicator in the agar and noticing a color change. The strain of Escherichia that is a common food pathogen, E. coli O157:H7, however can not ferment sorbitol. It will grow similar to other E. coli, but not change the agar color. Is sorbitol in nutrient agar a selective, differential or enrichment media?
