Question

Undefined/complex media, and give an example Defined media, and give an example - Selective media . Differential media Nutritional components in media; indicators in media, inhibitors in media Nutrient, Luria, TSB, Thioglycollate Simple, negative, gram stains Aerotolerant, anaerobic, aerobic, obligate(strict) aerobes, facultative anaerobes, aerotolerant anaerobes . . Coliform bacteria * Gram negative, gram positive bacteria Enteric bacteria . Fermentation versus cellular respiration MEDIA CHART TYPE-complex, defined, Purpose selective, differential MEDIA change, or other bacteria Columbia CNA with Sheep Blood Mannitol Salt

Explanation / Answer

Columbia CNA with sheep blood

Type: Selective and differential media

Purpose: Used for the isolation as well as differentiation

of gram positive bacteria from clinical and non-clinical

substances.

Result: If there is no growth on the media, then the bacteria is gram

Postive

Individual bacteria response : CNA in media have two antibiotics viz colistin and naladixic acid that can kill gram negative bacteria.

Notes: Ellner in the year 1966 made this media.

Mannitol salt

Type: selective and differential

Purpose: promotes the growth of some specific bacteria whereas inhibits the growth of other bacteria.

Result: if bacteria is able to ferment mannitol, then the agar turns yellow

Individual bacterial response : acidic byproduct that is ferment by bacteria turns media into yellow.

Notes: Commonly , this media is used for isolation of S.aureus and S. epidermidis bacteria.
