1. Which of the four media below are synthetic medium and which are complex media?

Synthetic media (Chemical composition defined): Glucose salt medium

Complex media (chemical composition not defined): Nutrient broth, glucose broth, Yeast extracts broth

2. Which of the four media below are used to grow autotrophs? Which media are used to grow fastidious microbes?

Glucose salt medium is used to grow autotrophs.
