Dichloran-glycerol medium for enumeration of xerophilic fungi from low-moisture foods.

ABSTRACT

A low water activity (alpha omega) medium (0.95 alpha omega) containing 18% (wt/wt) glycerol and 2 micrograms of dichloran per ml was developed for enumerating the fungal flora of dried and semidried foods. The medium, designated DG18, was shown to be significantly better than Christensen malt salt agar when both media were tested with foodstuffs and with pure culture inocula. The need for a medium of reduced alpha omega for enumerating xerophilic fungi from low-moisture foods was demonstrated by comparing fungal counts obtained on both high-alpha omega and low-alpha omega media.
