|---|---|
| Composition | Formula in g/L: Yeast extract 3; Malt extract 3; Peptone 5; dextrose 10; Agar 20; pH 6.2 ± 0.2 at 25°C |
| Preparation | Suspend 41 grams in 1000 ml purified / distilled water. Adjust pH to pH 7.2 ± 0.2 at 25°C. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Autoclave the agar and broth media at 121°C for 15 minutes. To increase selectivity, acidify the medium to pH 3.0 to 4.0 (by adding sterile 10% HCl, tartaric acid or 10% citric acid) or add antibiotics (penicillin 20 units per mL final concentration or streptomycin 40 µg per mL final concentration) using aseptic technique. Acidified agar medium should not be reheated. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates. |
| Storage | BioScien Yeast and mold agar should be stored between 10-30°C in a firmly closed container and the prepared medium at 2-8°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to avoid lump development due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in a dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period. |
