Product Description
Dichloran Glycerol Agar Base is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and enumeration of xerophilic fungi. This high-quality product from Himedia is widely used in research labs, educational institutions, and industrial settings to detect molds and yeasts in food, environmental, and clinical samples.
The medium contains dichloran, which restricts the growth of fast-spreading fungi, allowing for clearer isolation of target organisms. Glycerol in the formulation supports the growth of xerophilic fungi, making it an essential tool for accurate microbial analysis.
