Sabouraud Dextrose Agar

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is a specialized laboratory medium used to grow fungi, including mold and yeast. It contains a sugar called dextrose, which provides nutrition, and is formulated with a slightly acidic pH to inhibit bacterial growth, allowing fungi to flourish. This medium helps scientists identify and study fungi by supporting their growth in a controlled environment. It is commonly used in medical, environmental, and research labs for diagnosing fungal infections and conducting mycological research.
