Selective media for detecting and enumerating foodborne yeasts

From the patient to the clinical mycology laboratory: how can we optimise microscopy and culture methods for mould identification?

“…The growth of bacteria or saprophytic fungi can be reduced by the addition of inhibiting agents. Acidified media are generally inferior to antibiotic supplemented media 48 49. The antibiotics used are more effective when they are active against a broad range of bacteria, resistant to inactivation by medium components, stable during incubation of the medium and have no effect on the recovery of fungi 50.…”

Effect of gamma irradiation on microbial decontamination, and chemical and sensory characteristic of lycium fruit

“…Following adequate dilution of the resulting homogenate with PBS, the suspensions were spread and plated onto the PCA culture plates for total aerobic microbial enumeration. Molds and yeasts were enumerated by the spread plate method using a PDA with chloramphenicol (Beuchat, 1993). The plates were incubated at 25 1C, and not disturbed until colonies were counted.…”

Detection, enumeration and isolation of yeasts

“…However, in the literature, several mycological media and cultivation methods have been described. Earlier references have been well reviewed [15,17,45,46,69,70,91,92] and these w i l l not be recapitulated here.…”
