Description

General description

ReadyPlate^™ agar plates are stackable specially designed plates that helps increase safety during handling, transport, and incubation. ReadyPlate^™ agar plates are of 55mm diameter. m-Green Agar is a medium used for the detection of yeast and fungi in beverages. The formulation is rich in nutrients, and a low pH of 4.6 ± 0.2 allows excellent fungal growth. Peptone and yeast extract provides nitrogen, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids essential for growth. Dextrose is a fermentable carbohydrate providing carbon and energy. Magnesium sulfate, thiamine, and diastase (a mixture containing amylolytic (starch) enzymes) provide essential ions, minerals, and nutrients. Bromocresol Green is the pH indicator, facilitating visualization and counting of fungal colonies. The colonies are green due to the diffusion of bromocresol green into the colonies

Application

m-Green Agar is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of yeasts and molds in water samples and Beverages.
