Cultivation of Yeasts and Molds: Supports robust growth of fungi for routine culture and maintenance.

Enumeration in Food and Beverage Testing: Used for total yeast and mold counts in foods, juices, beer, and dairy.

Environmental Monitoring: Applied as settle/contact plates to capture airborne and surface fungal contaminants in cleanrooms and labs.

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Bioburden Testing: Detects fungal contamination in raw materials, intermediates, and finished products.

Fungal Isolation and Purification: Enables isolation of pure fungal colonies from mixed samples.

Plant Pathology: Cultivates phytopathogenic fungi for identification, spore production, and pathogenicity studies.

Antifungal Screening: Used for susceptibility testing and potency assays of antifungal agents.

Mycotoxin Producer Screening: Supports growth and preliminary screening of mycotoxin-producing fungi.

Colony Morphology and Sporulation Studies: Provides nutrient-rich medium for phenotypic characterization of fungi.

Water and Environmental Sample Testing: Detects yeasts and molds in potable, process, and environmental waters.
