Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vibrio cholerae requires a selective medium with high salt concentration and a basic pH to inhibit the growth of other bacteria and provide optimal conditions for its growth. A differential medium is not necessary for cultivating V. cholerae as it does not have unique characteristics that allow for differentiation from other organisms. HCl and an acidic pH would not be suitable for the growth of V. cholerae.
