What is a selective-differential media in microbiology? Microbiology Questions Answers.com > Wiki Answers > Categories > Science > Biology > Microbiology View Slide Show Best Answer Selective media favor the growth of particular microorganisms. Bile salt or dye like basic fuschin and crystal violet favor the growth of gram-negative bacteria by inhibiting the growth of gram positive bacteria. Maconkey agar is widely used to grow E.coli and related bacteria. Differential media are media that distinguish among different groups of microbes and even permit tentative identification of microorganisms based on their biological characterstics. Blood agar is used to culture of bacteria from human throat.
