Description

Selectively cultivate, isolate, and enumerate yeast and molds from environment specimens and food using Contact I Rose Bengal Agar (with chloramphenicol).

Selectively cultivate, isolate, and enumerate yeasts and molds from environmental and food specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Contact I Rose Bengal Agar (with chloramphenicol). Smith and Dawson added rose bengal to a medium with neutral pH for selective isolation of fungi from soil samples1. Rose Bengal Agar with chloramphenicol is based on the formula developed by Jarvis for enumeration of yeasts and molds from food and water2,3.

Selectively cultivate, isolate, and enumerate yeasts and molds using selective medium Contact I Rose Bengal Agar (with chloramphenicol).

  • Ready-to-use – Contact plates. Convenience of prepared media.
  • Selective – Chloramphenicol is the selective agent which inhibits bacterial growth.
  • Easy-to-interpret – Cells of yeasts and molds absorb the rose bengal dye turning colonies color to pink, which makes the identification of the yeasts and molds easier.

Contact I Rose Bengal Agar (with chloramphenicol) contains dextrose as the fermentable carbohydrate and a ready source of energy. Soy peptone supplies nitrogen and vitamin sources required for the growth of fungi. Chloramphenicol is added as a selective agent because of its heat stability and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Monopotassium phosphate is a buffer and magnesium sulfate provides sulfate and other trace elements. Rose bengal is an indicator and also acts as a selective agent which inhbits the growth of bacteria and limits the size of faster-growing molds. This helps to detect the slower-growing yeasts.
