EMERSON AGAR

Emerson Agar was originally formulated by Emerson et al and is used for the cultivation of moulds and bacterial species resembling moulds. This medium was further modified by Gottlieb et al and is used for screening potent antibiotic producing organisms. In their study, they stored Streptomyces in soil for long time and transferred them as needed, to slants of Emerson Agar. The slant cultures were incubated for 3-7 days. The spores were gently scraped from the cultures surface to form a spore inoculum.
