BIOFARGO INC Hayflick Agar (Mycoplasma Agar) 100 Plates
Supplier: BIOFARGO INC MHAYFLICKX
HAYFLICK agar is a specialized, nutrient-enriched solid medium formulated to support the growth of fastidious mycoplasmal species. The medium is supplemented with horse serum, which provides essential lipids, including cholesterol and long-chain fatty acids, required for membrane synthesis and cellular proliferation. To fulfill nucleic acid precursor requirements, exogenous deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is incorporated as a source of purine and pyrimidine bases, compensating for the de novo biosynthetic deficiencies inherent to Mycoplasma spp. Metabolic activity of viable mycoplasmas leads to acid–base shifts within the medium, which are detected via the phenol red pH indicator, resulting in a visible color change from red to yellow or purple, thereby signaling active growth. The inclusion of penicillin G suppresses the growth of background bacterial flora while maintaining selective support for mycoplasmas.
