Sabouraud Dextrose (4%) Agar – BioLab

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (4%) is a sterile, nutrient-rich solid culture medium specifically designed for the isolation and cultivation of fungi, including yeasts and molds. This medium is manufactured by BioLab and exclusively imported and distributed in Iran by Fardad Azma Rad Co.

Formulated with 4% dextrose, peptones, and a slightly acidic pH (~5.6), this medium promotes fungal growth while inhibiting the growth of many unwanted bacteria.

Key Components and Features:

• Dextrose (4%):
  A high carbohydrate concentration that supports rapid fungal growth

• Peptones:
  Serve as a source of nitrogen and amino acids essential for fungal metabolism

• Agar:
  Solidifying agent that provides a stable surface for colony development

• Acidic pH (~5.6):
  Inhibits most bacterial growth, enhancing the medium’s selectivity for fungi
