HiMedia HME-M146-500G (Corn Meal Agar) is a gold-standard mycological medium specifically engineered for the cultivation of fungi and the diagnostic identification of Candida albicans. This 500g dehydrated culture medium is a staple in clinical and food microbiology labs for its ability to stimulate the production of characteristic chlamydospores.
Key Features & Benefits
Targeted Identification: Specifically recommended for observing the morphological characteristics of Candida species.
Simple, Pure Formulation: Contains only corn meal infusion and agar, providing a low-nutrient environment that triggers fungal survival mechanisms like chlamydospore formation.
Enhanced Performance: Can be supplemented with 1% Polysorbate 80 to further stimulate faster and more abundant chlamydospore production.
Versatile Application: Used widely in clinical diagnostics, food safety testing (dairy products), and the maintenance of fungal stock cultures.
