Zygomycete. Common black bread mold. Lab contaminant. Mating strain, cross with Rhizopus stolonifer (nigricans) (+) to produce zygospores. Incubation temperature 25°C. Potato dextrose agar growth medium.

Use these stains in the first step to identifying your unknown bacteria.

With 5% sheep’s blood. For isolation of Gram-positive organisms.

For Differential Isolation of Enteric Bacilli Based on Lactose Fermentation

Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI) Agar is a general purpose media used for the cultivation of fastidous microrganisms.

Zygomycete. Common black bread mold. Lab contaminant. Mating strain, cross with Rhizopus stolonifer (nigricans) (-) to produce zygospores. Incubation temperature 25°C. Potato dextrose agar growth medium.

Deuteromycete. Causes thrush, candidiasis. Multiplies by budding. Forms germ-tubes in serum cultures. Incubation temperature 37°C. Potato dextrose agar growth medium. Note: Pathogen.

Used for culturing Dictyostelium discoideum (cellular slime mold). 

Culture Common Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria

This is a good all-purpose medium that supports the growth of a variety of microorganisms.
