Descripción

Descripción general

Wort agar is used for the cultivation, isolation, and enumeration or enrichment of yeasts. The addition of certain indicator dyes to the medium allows differentiation between yeast and bacterial colonies. The accompanying bacterial flora is weakly suppressed by a pH value of 5.0 and largely by a pH of 3.5.

Aplicación

Wort agar is suitable for the cultivation, isolation, and enumeration or enrichment of fungi, especially of yeasts.
