MALT AGAR, MODIFIED

Media based on malt extract may be considered as general growth substrates due to their richness and nutrient balance. They are very suitable for the cultivation of fastidious microorganisms. With acidic pH, they are used for the isolation, cultivation and maintenance of yeast and moulds. Malt media for yeasts and moulds have been widely used for many years. In 1919, Reddish prepared a satisfactory substitute for beer wort from malt extract for use in both antibiotic and acidified standard methods for yeast and mould counts in food
