how is the appearance of EMB plate change with a positive differential result ?

shiny metallic green

11.

What is the definition of a selective medium?

grow only certain types of organisms and actively preventing some types from growing

12.

what is the definition of a differential medium?

grow all types of microbes but it causes some organisms to look different
