Isolation and Cultivation of Fungi and Yeasts: Selective recovery of yeasts and molds from clinical, environmental, and food samples using a 4.0% dextrose, 1.0% animal-free soytone, 1.5% agar formulation.

Clinical Mycology: Detection and primary culture of Candida spp. and other pathogenic yeasts from patient specimens.

Dermatophyte Recovery: Isolation of dermatophytes from skin, hair, and nail samples for diagnostic workups.

Food and Beverage QC: Enumeration of yeasts and molds in dairy, beverages, baked goods, and raw ingredients for quality control.

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Testing: Bioburden and microbial limits testing focused on yeast and mold contamination.

Environmental Monitoring: Air, surface, and cleanroom monitoring for fungal contamination using 100 mm sterile plates.

Culture Maintenance: Routine propagation and stock maintenance of laboratory yeast and mold strains.

Mixed Flora Suppression: Low pH and high dextrose favor fungi while inhibiting bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Colony Morphology Assessment: Phenotypic evaluation of yeast and mold colony morphology and pigmentation on a nutrient-rich surface.

Antimicrobial Evaluation: Supplement-compatible base for adding antibiotics or antifungals to assess microbial susceptibility profiles.
