2. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that all Escherichia bacteria can normally ferment into an acidic waste compound. This acidic end product is detected by including a pH indicator in the agar and noticing a color change. The strain of Escherichia that is a common food pathogen, E. coli O157:H7, however can not ferment sorbitol. It will grow similar to other E. coli, but not change the agar color. Is sorbitol in nutrient agar a selective, differential or enrichment media?

1. The differential aspect of MacConkey agar allows for the determination of which bacteria are lactose fermenters and which are not. 2. Blood agar is used to determine an organism's ability for hemolysis. Blood agar is differential in this regard. 3. EMB agar uses two dyes, eosin and methylene blue, to restrict the growth of gram-positive organisms, making this agar (EMB) in this regard. 4. Crystal violet dye in MacConkey agar will prevent some organisms from growing, making MacConkey agar in this regard. The crystal violet dye can also be used in the determination of the ability to ferment the carbohydrate in the agar; making MacConkey agar in this regard. 5. Use of an agar which contains an elevated amount of salt would allow some organisms to grow while preventing the growth of other organisms. This media would be considered selective
