Suppress unwanted flora while letting target organisms grow and show a visible marker — colour, halo, or colony form.
MacConkey Agar EP/USP/ISO · Baird Parker Agar Base · Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) · Bacillus Cereus Selective Agar Base (MYP) · Bismuth Sulfite Agar · Brilliant Green Bile Agar
Enzyme-substrate systems that turn target colonies a distinct colour on the plate — faster identification, fewer confirmatory steps.
E. coli–Coliforms Chromogenic Agar Base (BOE) · E. coli–Enterobacteria Chromogenic Agar · Chromogenic Coliforms Agar (CCA) ISO
General-purpose growth for routine cultivation and stock maintenance.
Nutrient Agar ISO · Luria Agar/Broth (Miller's LB) · European Bacteriological Agar
Growth factors added for fastidious organisms that won't grow on basal media alone.
Brain Heart Infusion Agar (BHI) · Mueller Hinton Agar/Broth · MRS Agar
Grown in liquid first to boost recovery of low-count or stressed organisms before plating.
Buffered Peptone Water ISO · Fecal Coliforms Agar Base (m-FC) · Sabouraud Dextrose Broth EP/USP
Reveal specific metabolic activity, pH change or enzyme reaction.
CLED Agar · EMB Agar · TCBS Agar · XLD Agar · Rappaport Vassiliadis Broth
