Malt Extract Agar, 5 KG

Malt Extract Agar is used for the isolation, cultivation and maintenance of yeasts and molds. Formulation is similar to Malt Extract Broth with the addition of agar and glycerol. This broth medium was recommended by Thom and Church for the cultivation of fungi. Its low acidity inhibits the growth of most bacteria. The high carbohydrate content enhances the rapid growth of fungi and yeasts. Dissolve 33.6 grams in 1 liter of distilled water. Sterilize by autoclaving for 15 minutes.
