Comparison of two culture media types used to grow Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria. Known as overgrowth, note that the non-selective chocolate agar medium on the left, due to its composition, allowed for the growth of organismal colonies other than those of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, while the selective Thayer–Martin medium on the right, containing antimicrobials that inhibit the growth of ...

Lysine iron agar or LIA is a differential media used to distinguish bacteria that are able to decarboxylate lysine and/or produce hydrogen sulfide from those that cannot. [1] This test is particularly useful for distinguishing different Gram-negative bacilli —especially among the Enterobacteriaceae .
An agar plate – an example of a bacterial growth medium*: Specifically, it is a streak plate; the orange lines and dots are formed by bacterial colonies.. A growth medium or culture medium is a solid, liquid, or semi-solid designed to support the growth of a population of microorganisms or cells via the process of cell proliferation [1] or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens.

Streak plates of several bacterial species on nutrient agar plates. Nutrient agar is a general-purpose solid medium supporting growth of a wide range of non-fastidious organisms.
An MSA plate with Micrococcus sp. (1), Staphylococcus epidermidis (2) and S. aureus colonies (3).. Mannitol salt agar or MSA is a commonly used selective and differential growth medium in microbiology.
Buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar is a selective growth medium used to culture or grow certain types of bacteria, particularly the Gram-negative species Legionella pneumophila. [1]
Eaton's agar is a type of agar media is used to grow Mycoplasma pneumoniae. One recipe for the cultivation of M. pneumoniae (Eaton's agar) includes : [1] 70% Difco PPLO (pleuropneumonia-like organism) agar or broth base; 20% unheated horse serum; 10% fresh aqueous extract of baker's yeast; 1000 units/ml Penicillin G
