Agars can be used to select for growth of certain types of bacteria and then allow for you to identify the different bacteria that can grow on the plate. These agars may be considered both selective and differential. Is the above statement true or false? Choose which.

True. These agars that can be used to select growth of certain types of bacteria, and identify the different bacteria growing on the plate, can be considered selective and differentials.

Explanation:

Selective agars allow growth of only certain kind of bacteria. Differential agars, besides, allow an identification in situ (different colors in the target bacteria type, for example, or any other particular feature).
