The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Malt Extract Broth (Dehydrated) is a liquid medium designed for the cultivation of molds and yeasts. The inclusion of mycological peptone supports luxuriant growth, allowing for the observation of typical morphology and pigmentation. The acidic nature of the medium suppresses bacterial growth, facilitating improved isolation of fungi from samples with heavy bacterial contamination.
Key Features
- Nutrient-Rich Composition:
- Includes mycological peptone to promote robust growth of yeasts and molds.
- Acidic Medium:
- Inhibits bacterial growth, enhancing the isolation of fungi from contaminated samples.
- Liquid Format:
- Suitable for use in liquid culture workflows for fungal cultivation.
- Versatile Applications:
- Supports fungal isolation in food, clinical, environmental, and industrial microbiology.
- Reproducible Results:
- Consistently supports fungal growth across diverse sample types.
