Question 2
pts
, A researcher is asked to determine if a sample contains
Neisseria meningitides.
Knowing Neisseria meningitides is slow growing and other
foreign microbes may also be present in the culture,
which type of media would be best suited?
Growth media
Correct!
Selective media
Selective media. If additional foreign microbes may be
present in your sample and you know Neisseria
meningitides is slow growing, you must restrict the
unwanted microbes while supporting the growth of
Neisseria meningitides. Thus, you are selectively
encouraging one microbes growth, while selectively
restricting others.
