Sabouraud 2 % Glucose Broth, 1 l, 10 x 100 ml

Recommended by the Harmonized Method (Ph. Eur. 6.0, 2.6.13.B) for growth of Candida albicans.

The low amount of glucose supports the activation of the secondary metabolism and, subsequently, pigment formation.

Sabouraud Glucose Broth is a liquid medium used for culturing yeasts, molds and aciduric microorganisms.

The high glucose concentrations and acidic pH value make this medium selective for fungi from clinical samples and other materials.
This medium is a modification of the Glucose Agar described by Sabouraud, with half the glucose and withour agar.
