General description

Malt Extract Agar Contact - RT is designed for environmental monitoring in the non-critical area for the detection of yeasts and molds.
Malt Extract Agar is used for the detection of yeasts and molds. The pH of 5.4 - 5.8 of the medium promotes the growth of most yeasts and fungi, while bacterial growth is more or less inhibited. Malt extract has a high content of carbohydrates (90-92 %), nitrogen compounds, and vitamins, e.g., riboflavin, pyridoxin, and thiamine. The soymeal peptone is also rich in carbohydrates, and additionally supplies the necessary protein compounds such as peptides and amino acids.

Application

The Malt Extract Agar is used for the identification of yeasts and molds in food, including milk and dairy products, and environmental samples.
