Cultivation of Yeasts and Molds: Supports robust growth of fungi from clinical, environmental, and industrial samples due to high dextrose and acidic pH.

Isolation of Candida spp.: Facilitates recovery and presumptive identification of yeasts from urine, stool, oral, and vaginal specimens.

Dermatophyte Recovery: Enables isolation of skin, hair, and nail pathogens such as dermatophytes from clinical specimens.

Environmental Monitoring: Used for air, surface, and personnel monitoring to detect fungal bioburden in cleanrooms and production areas.

Pharmaceutical Microbial Limits Testing: Applied in USP/EP/JP workflows for enumeration of yeasts and molds in nonsterile products.

Food and Beverage Testing: Detects and enumerates spoilage yeasts and molds in dairy, baked goods, juices, beer, and wine.

Fungal Contamination Screening: Screens cell culture reagents, process water, and raw materials for yeast and mold contamination.

Maintenance of Fungal Stock Cultures: Suitable for routine subculture and short-term maintenance of yeasts and filamentous fungi.

Selective Culture with Antibiotics: Used with additives (e.g., chloramphenicol, gentamicin) to suppress bacterial overgrowth during fungal isolation.

Teaching and Mycology Training: Standard medium for demonstrating fungal morphology and colony characteristics in educational labs.
