Question
Chapter 6, Problem 22CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
The kind of selective media used by Beijernick to isolate the aerobic and anaerobic nitrogen-fixers, sulfate-reducers, and sulfur-oxidizing members of bacteria using the enrichment technique.
Introduction:
The enrichment culture technique was introduced by Beijerinck during the 1800s. He used selective media for applying the technique. The bacteria used for oil cleanup can be cultured using the enrichment method.

Consider a culture medium on which only gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus colonies can grow due to an elevated NaCl level. A yellow halo surrounds the growth, indicating the bacterium fermented sugar in the medium, decreasing the pH as a result and changing the color of a pH indicator chemical. This type of medium would be referred to as a(n): A) Selective medium. B) Differential medium. C) Enrichment culture. D) Selective and differential medium.
