Final answer:

Sabouraud agar is not a differential media based on fermentation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the provided information, the media that is not a differential media based on fermentation is Sabouraud agar.

Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar is a differential media used to distinguish between lactose fermenting and non-lactose fermenting organisms based on the color of colonies formed.

MacConkey agar and Mannitol salt agar (MSA) are also differential media that can differentiate between different types of bacteria based on their ability to ferment lactose or mannitol.
