Which of the Following is Essential for Development of Discrete

Question

Which of the following is essential for development of discrete, isolated colonies?
A)broth medium
B)differential medium
C)selective medium
D)solid medium
E)assay medium

Accepted Answer

Solid medium is essential for development of discrete, isolated colonies as it provides a surface for microbial growth that allows for individual colonies to form without being disturbed or in contact with each other. Broth medium, differential medium, selective medium, and assay medium do not provide this type of surface and may lead to overlapping or mixed colonies.
