General
For enumeration of yeast and moulds of products with less water activity.
This culture medium complies with the specifications given by ISO 21527-2.
Mode of Action
By reducing the water activity from approx. 0.99 to 0.95 with 18 % (w/w) glycerol and addition of
chloramphenicol growth of bacteria is prevented. The inclusion of dichloran serves to inhibit the rapid
spreading of mucoraceous fungi and restricts colony sizes of other genera, easing the colony count.
