Sabouraud Dextrose Agar Plate is used for cultivation of Yeasts, Moulds and Aciduric microorganisms.
The acidic pH of this medium inhibits the growth of bacteria but permits the growth of yeasts and most filamentous fungi. This medium is also employed to determine mycological evaluation of food, contamination in cosmetics and clinically to aid in the diagnosis of yeast and fungal infections.
