  Growth medium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When agar, a substance which sets into a gel, is added to a liquid medium it can be poured into petri dishes where it will solidify, called agar plates, and provide a solid medium on which microbes may be cultured.
Selective media are used to grow cells which possess a desired selectable trait.
While selective media are used to allow the growth of only select microoganisms, differential media allow the growth of multiple types, but result in distinguishing characteristics (such as the production of a brightly coloured or phosphorescent dye).

 Use of 3-aminotriazole to isolate oleate/acetate non-utilizing mutants of Aspergillus nidulans
Oleate non-utilizing (olu) mutants of Aspergillus nidulans were isolated on selective medium containing the catalase inhibitor, 3-aminotriazole (3-AT); in an attempt to obtain strains that would enable analysis of peroxisome biogenesis and function in filamentous fungi.
The selection procedure is based on the lethality of H2O2 formed during peroxisomal -oxidation of fatty acids in the presence of the catalase inhibitor 3-aminotriazole (3-AT).
The selection medium should contain: at least, two different carbon sources: a fatty acid, to induce peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation, and a second carbon source (other than a fatty acid) to allow growth of mutants disturbed in peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation.
