Mycosel™ Agar Slants, BD

Mycosel™ Agar is a selective medium for the isolation of pathogenic fungi from materials having a mixed flora of other fungi and bacteria.

• Soybean meal peptones provide nutrients
• Dextrose is an energy source
• Cycloheximide inhibits most saprophytic molds
• Chloramphenicol inhibits most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

Mycosel™ Agar was developed by using the ingredients of Mycophil™ Agar as a nutritive base to which cycloheximide and chloramphenicol were added as selective agents. It is widely used for the isolation of fungi from a variety of sources, and is recommended for the recovery of dermatophytes.
