설명

일반 설명

Malt extract agar is recommended for the detection, isolation, and enumeration of yeasts and molds. The acidic pH of the medium supports the growth of Yeasts and Molds while it suppresses the growth of bacterial flora. The addition of certain indicator dyes to the medium allows differentiation of yeast and bacterial colonies. Furthermore, a modified malt extract agar is recommended for the selective cultivation of Aspergillus flavus.

애플리케이션

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