Dichlorane-glycerin-agar

Dichloran-Glycerol 18% -Agar (DG18) is a nutrient medium with "lower moisture content", which was developed by A.D. Hocking and I.J. Pitt. This can be used to determine the germ count of yeasts and molds occurring on dry surfaces. The proportion of 18% glycerol binds the water and serves as carbon and energy source. This promotes dryness (xerophil) or osmotolerant molds. The 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline (dicloran) inhibits fast-growing fungi so that slow-growing species can also be detected. The addition of chloramphenicol inhibits bacterial growth. Edit source text
