Description

Selectively isolate and presumptively identify Candida spp. using this medium.

Selectively isolate and presumptively identify Candida spp. using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ BiGGY Agar (Dehydrated). In 1953, Nickerson following a study of sulphite reduction by Candida spp described that Bismuth Sulfite Glucose Glycine Yeast (BiGGY) Agar based on growth patterns and pigmentation of colonies may be used for differentiation of Candida spp1.

The medium contains yeast extract and glucose which provide essential nutrients to stimulate growth. Heat processing initiates a reaction between bismuth ammonium citrate and sodium sulfite that produces bismuth sulfite. Bismuth sulfite serves to inhibit the growth of bacteria. In the medium appreciable amounts of sulfide combines with the bismuth to precipitate and impart a brown-black color to the colonies. Many strains of yeast, including Candida spp., reduce bismuth sulfite.
