POTATO CARROT AGAR

The medium is prepared based on formula originally designed by Langeron and Vanbreuseghem in 1952 and recommended by Onions and Atlas and Parks. This is a weak or starvation medium suitable for conservation of organisms. The medium restricts mycelial growth and promotes relatively high proportion of spores. The fungi grown on this medium when subsequently inoculated into richer medium yield rich growth.
Potato Carrot Agar is used for the reproduction of Pyronema domesticum and for the cultivation and maintenance of Actinoplanes awajinensi, Actinoplanes nirasakiensis, Amorphosphorangium auranticolor, Streptomyces flavus and Thermoactinomyces vulgaris.
