Semisolid media, such as MIO (Motility, Indole, Ornithine) medium, are commonly used to assess bacterial motility. Another similar medium is SIM (Sulfide, Indole, Motility) medium, which serves a similar purpose but also tests for hydrogen sulfide production and indole formation.

Explanation:In this specific scenario, seeing since both of the mediums are differential, the bacteria can grow on either of them, therefore either of them would be a good choice. A differential media allows the researcher to visually distinguish which species have the specific biochemical process. Which in this case both options have the ability to allow bacteria to grow which is what is needed.
