Oxytetracycline Glucose Agar (OGA) Base

Designed to integrate seamlessly into laboratory operations, the Oxytetracycline Glucose Agar (OGA) Base is a valuable addition to any microbiologist's toolkit. This dehydrated nutrient media, categorized under Media for Yeasts and Moulds, is particularly useful for the selective counting of these organisms in foodstuffs and cosmetics. Its unique formulation, featuring oxytetracycline, allows for the inhibition of bacterial growth while promoting the growth of fungi. The neutral pH further ensures that acidophilic bacteria like Lactobacillus are suppressed, providing a conducive environment for the verification of specific yeasts and moulds such as Aspergillus brasiliensis, Candida albicans, and Penicillium chrysogenum. Store this base at temperatures between +15 to +25 °C for
