FUNGAL AGAR W/ LOW pH (MYCOLOGICAL AGAR W/ LOW pH)

Description

Mycological media are basal media to which antifungal agents may be added for checking their effect on fungi or bacteria to render them selective for isolation and cultivation of fungi. Fungal Agar with low pH is used for saprophytic fungi. Earlier media for fungi generally relied on an acidic pH to make the media less suitable for the growth of many bacteria. Fungal Agar w/ low pH is prepared according to the formulation suggested by Huppert and Walker. Fungal Agar w/ low pH is a selective agar for culturing and enumerating fungi and aciduric bacteria from beverages, poultry and clinical material.
