FUNGAL BROTH (MYCOLOGICAL BROTH)

Description

Mycological Broth is a basal medium to which antifungal agents may be added for checking their effect on fungi or antibacterials to render them selective for isolation and cultivation of fungi. Mycological Agar is used while working with pathogenic fungi. Earlier media for fungi generally relied on an acidic pH to make the media less suitable for the growth of many bacteria. Fungal Agar is prepared according to the formulation suggested by Huppert and Walker. Mycological Broth is similar in composition to Mycological Agar (Fungal Agar), except agar.
