FAQs
What is the primary use of Sabouraud Dextrose Agar?
Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is primarily used for the isolation and cultivation of fungi, including yeasts and molds. Its acidic pH inhibits bacterial growth, making it ideal for fungal studies.

While it is possible to grow some acid-tolerant bacteria on this medium, Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is not designed for bacterial culture. Its low pH suppresses most bacteria, making it selective for fungi.
