Consider a culture medium on which only gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus colonies can grow due to an elevated NaCl level. A yellow halo surrounds the growth, indicating the bacterium fermented sugar in the medium, decreasing the pH as a result and changing the color of a pH indicator chemical. This type of medium would be referred to as a(n): A) Selective medium. B) Differential medium. C) Enrichment culture. D) Selective and differential medium. E) Differential and enrichment culture.arrow_forwardBased on the knowledge acquired about the conservation and propagation of microorganisms, propose methodologies for:a) conservation of stock culture (used infrequently) of baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae);b) conservation of the working culture (used daily) of the baker's yeast;c) activation (1st stage of propagation) of the work culture;d) propagation of cultures until inoculating a 100 L reactor toi) production of baker's yeast;ii) ethanol production.arrow_forward
