Step 1
Complex media consists of nutrients such as water soluble extracts of plant or animal tissue and there enzymatic products. Thus this media consist of of various ingredients with undetermined composition.
Define medium is made up of ingredients with known chemical composition.

The Mannitol salt agar (MSA) only allows the growth of halophiles (salt-loving microbes);nonhalophiles will not grow. Among the halophiles, mannitol fermenters will produce acid that turnsthe pH indicator yellow; mannitol nonfermenters leave the medium red. Onto MSA you inoculate ahalophilic mannitol fermenter and a halophilic mannitol nonfermenter. In this case, the medium isacting as (a) __________ medium(s).A. SelectiveB. DifferentialC.
