Description

Cultivate saprophytic fungi, soil bacteria and other microorganisms using Czapek Medium.

Cultivate saprophytic fungi, soil bacteria and other microorganisms using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Czapek Medium. This medium was first developed by Czapek1 in 1902. The current formulation was developed by Thom and Raper who further evaluated it in comparative studies with saprophytic Aspergilli2,3 and for taxonomic studies of Penicillium4. They observed that this medium produces vigorous growth of nearly all saprophytic Aspergilli and yields charactestic mycelia and conidia.

Czapek medium is recommended for use in qualitative procedures for cultivating saprophytic fungi, soil bacteria and other microorganisms.

  • Recommended in Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater for use in the isolation of Aspergillus, Penicillium and related fungi5.
  • Ready to Use: Convenience of prepared agar media

This medium is a solid neutral, chemically defined medium containing sodium nitrate as the sole source of nitrogen. Fungi and bacteria capable of utilizing the inorganic nitrogen source can grow rapidly. Saccharose is an energy source and the sole source of carbon. Dipotassium phosphate is a buffering agent, potassium chloride provides essential ions, and magnesium sulfate and ferrous sulfate act as sources of cations.
