Descrição

Descrição geral

GranuCult^® plus Malt extract broth contains polysaccharides which are used as an energy source and make the medium acidic. Mycological peptone serves as a nitrogen source. Lactic acid, tartaric acid, or antibiotics suppress bacterial growth and make the medium more selective. The pH value of the culture medium should be adjusted to 3.5 to obtain fungal counts and inhibit the growth of the bacterial flora. The malt extract broth can be modified for the selective cultivation of Aspergillus flavus. Furthermore, adding certain indicator dyes to malt extract agar allows the differentiation of yeast and bacterial colonies.

Aplicação

Malt extract broth is suitable for the detection, isolation, and enumeration of fungi, particularly yeasts and molds, in various materials and for the cultivation of test strains for microbiological vitamin assays.
