Aspergillus sp. growing in potato dextrose agar Potato dextrose agar (BAM Media M127) and potato dextrose broth are common microbiological growth media made from potato infusion and dextrose. Potato dextrose agar (abbreviated "PDA") is the most widely used medium for growing fungi and bacteria. PDA has the capability to culture various bacteria and fungi found in the soil. This agar can be ...
Once a plate has been successfully prepared, plate count agar cells will grow into colonies which can be sufficiently isolated to determine the original cell type. The colony-forming unit (CFU) is an appropriate description of the colony's origin. In plate counts, colonies are counted, but the count is usually recorded in CFU.

Contamination on an agar plate. An agar plate is a Petri dish that contains a growth medium solidified with agar, used to culture microorganisms. Sometimes selective compounds are added to influence growth, such as antibiotics. [1] 96 pinner used to perform spot assays with yeast, fungal or bacterial cells
Nutrient agar is a general-purpose solid medium supporting growth of a wide range of non-fastidious organisms. It typically contains ( mass/volume ): [ 1 ] 0.5% peptone – this provides organic nitrogen
R2A agar (Reasoner's 2A agar) is a culture medium [1] developed to study bacteria which normally inhabit potable water. [2] These bacteria tend to be slow-growing species and would quickly be suppressed by faster-growing species on a richer culture medium.
Schädler agar is composed of several key ingredients that provide the necessary nutrients and environment for anaerobic bacterial growth: [2] Peptones: serve as a source of nitrogen and amino acids. Yeast extract: provides vitamins, particularly B vitamins, and other growth factors. Dextrose: a source of carbon and energy.
Aspergillus fumigatus on Czapek agar. Arthur Wayland Dox added 2 g of sodium nitrate in his version, to provide a sole source of nitrogen that is inorganic. [4] This makes the medium a selective growth medium as only organisms that can use inorganic nitrogen can grow. [6] Czapek and Dox did not add agar but many recipes add 15 g to make a solid ...
