Descripción

General description

GranuCult^®plus Oxytetracyclin-Glucose-Yeast Extract Agar Base is used to isolate and enumerate yeasts and molds in foods. The base medium allows good growth of yeasts and molds. Oxytetracycline inhibits the growth of bacteria. The addition of an OGYE selective supplement (1.09877) to the base medium increases the recovery/count of yeast and molds. Yeast extract provides essential growth nutrients. Dextrose acts as a carbon and energy source. Low pH helps to reduce the bacterial flora.

Application

GranuCult^® plus Oxytetracyclin-Glucose-Yeast Extract Agar Base is suitable for the selective isolation and enumeration of yeasts and molds in foods.

Features and Benefits

• GranuCult^® offers superior granulated culture media
• Safe and sustainable due to reduced risks associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, resulting in a safer work environment
• Excellent wettability, solubility, and free-flowing properties
• Convenient, with minimal component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions
• High batch-to-batch reproducibility
• Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
• High number of test strains exceeding all regulatory demands
• Granulation technology allows many supplements to be included, with no need to add these separately
