Beschrijving
Wort Agar (Base) is a dry nutrient medium for microbiology intended for laboratory detection work involving yeasts and moulds. It is grouped with dry nutrient media and with nutrient media for the detection of yeast and moulds, and also appears in hygiene-monitoring contexts where fungal culture media are required. The base agar format allows laboratories to prepare plates according to their validated recipes and incubation schemes for yeast and mould examination. Packaging is a 500 g plastic unit, practical for media preparation rooms that maintain stock of specialised agars. The unit weight is 0,604 kg. Sourced from manufacturer Carl ROTH, Wort Agar (Base) supports microbiological analyses in which a wort-type agar base is specified for yeast and mould workflows. It is suited to catalogues covering dry nutrient media and fungal detection without extending claims beyond the stated microbiological use. Consistent naming and pack presentation help maintain continuity in routine hygiene and quality-control media schedules.
This article belongs on Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about Wort Agar (Base), for microbiology, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Wort Agar (Base), for microbiology, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Media.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
