Cultivate and maintain the growth of fungi and yeasts from clinical material using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Mycological Agar (Mycophil™ Agar). In 1948, Carlier developed this medium for the cultivation of fungi prepared from peptone, glucose and agar¹. Previous formulations of fungal media generally had an acidic pH for inhibiting bacterial growth. In 1958, Huppert and Walker demonstrated that media with a neutral or slightly alkaline pH provided for early and luxuriant growth of fungi^2,3.

Mycophil Agar has also been recommended for isolation of yeasts and most filamentious fungi from clinical material⁴.

• Acts as basal medium to which antifungal agents can be added to make it selective.
• Ready to use: Convenience of prepared media.

This medium contains soy peptone that provides nitrogen, amino acids, and peptides necessary for the growth of fungi and dextrose as a source of energy which supports the growth of fungi. Agar is a solidifying agent.
