Difco™ Malt Extract Broth, BD Diagnostics

Malt Extract Broth is used for cultivating yeasts and molds.

• Malt extract provides carbon, protein, and nutrient sources for essential growth
• Maltose is an energy source
• Dextrose is included as a source of fermentable carbohydrate
• Yeast extract provides vitamins and additional nitrogen and carbon

The acidic pH of Malt Extract Broth allows for the optimal growth of molds and yeasts while restricting bacterial growth.
