Question

Regarding the culture media, choose the most accurate answer. A. If we want to study sugar fermentation, phenol broth is used. Tested sugars and inhibitors should be added. B. Blood agar and chocolate agar are enriched solid media which have basic components: blood, lactose, and phenol red. C. Mannitol salt agar is a selective and differential medium for Staphylococci, which contains 7-9% NaCl and phenol red as an indicator. The color changes to yellow if mannitol is fermented. D. Alkaline peptone water is an enrichment medium (liquid) used for the isolation of Salmonella spp. from stool samples. E. None is correct.

Chocolate agar: - is an enriched culture medium. - contains growth factors that have been released by lysis of red blood cells during production. - contains nutrients such as glucose and chocolate to support the growth of fastidious (fussy) microorganisms. - is a complex culture medium. - will support the growth of Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae. - will support the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Enterovirus. - is produced by mixing blood with molten agar at a higher temperature than for the production of blood agar.

00:01 The answer to the question is as follows.
00:04 So if we talk about that what is chocolate agar? first of all, there are many different types of culture media, culture media which are prepared for the growth of the organisms.
00:19 So if one of these culture media is the chocolate agar.
00:23 And the chocolate agar, also known as c -b -a, that is chocolate blood agar...
