Selective Differential Media definitions

# Definition Sets
1 selective media designed to suppress growth of unwated bacteria and encourage growth of desired microbes differential media make it easier to distinguish colonies of desired organism 3 sets
2 enhances the growth of certain species and enables to see the differences among them by their effect on the media 3 sets

12 combination of the two above 2 sets
