Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Inhibitory Mold Agar (w/chloramphenicol) is used to primarily isolate and cultivate Histoplasma capsulatum, dermatophytes, and other pathogenic fungi. Ulrich formulated Inhibitory Mold Agar as a general-purpose medium for cultivation of fungi1. It is also recommended for selective isolation of pathogenic yeasts and molds such as Cryptococcus neoformans, H. capsulatum, and Trichophyton spp. from clinical specimens contaminated with commensal microbial flora2,3.
Inhibitory Mold Agar primarily supports isolation and cultivation of dermatophytes and other pathogenic fungi. Inhibitory Mold Agar contains casein and meat peptones that supply nitrogenous compounds, amino acids, and peptides necessary for the growth of fungi. Dextrose, starch, and dextrin are ready sources of energy. Sodium chloride and metallic salts are essential electrolytes that help to maintains osmotic equilibrium. Yeast extract is a source of vitamins.
