Description
Wort Agar is an acidic medium for cultivation, isolation and enumeration of yeasts and moulds.
Malt extract and peptone supply nutrients, maltose and dextrin supply energy and the low pH favours fungal growth.
The PDF describes pour plating of samples and dilutions followed by incubation at 20–25°C for approximately five days. It is particularly suited to osmophilic yeasts in sweet products.
