Media Mikrobiologi Potato Dextrose Agar / PDA 500 G =Bentuk Serbuk / Granul tergantung mana yg ready= Media Mikrobiologi Potato Dextrose Agar adalah media general yang di rekomendasikan untuk isolasi dan penghitungan jumlah kapang khamir Kemasan / Berat netto : 500 gram Potato Dextrose Agar M096 Potato Dextrose agar is recommended for the isolation and enumeration of yeasts and moulds from dairy and other food products. Composition** Ingredients Gms / Litre Potatoes, infusion from 200.000 Dextrose 20.000 Agar 15.000 Final pH ( at 25C) 5.60.2 **Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters Directions Suspend 39 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121C) for 15 minutes. Mix well before dispensing. In specific work, when pH 3.5 is required, acidify the medium with sterile 10% tartaric acid. The amount of acid required for 100 ml. of sterile, cooled medium is approximately 1 ml. Do not heat the medium after addition of the acid. Principle And Interpretation Potato Dextrose Agar is recommended by APHA (1) and F.D.A. (2) for plate counts of yeasts and moulds in the examination of foods and dairy products (3). Potato Dextrose Agar is also used for stimulating sporulation, for maintaining stock cultures of certain dermatophytes and for differentiation of typical varieties of dermatophytes on the basis of pigment production (4). It is also recommended by USP (5), BP (6) ,EP (7) and JP (8) for growth of fungi. Potato infusion and dextrose promote luxuriant fungal growth. Adjusting the pH of the medium by tartaric acid to 3.5, inhibits the bacterial growth. Heating the medium after acidification should be avoided as it may hydrolyse the agar which can render the agar unable to solidify. detail technical data : http://himedialabs.com/TD/M096.pdf
