Description
Media selectivity may be enhanced through acidification or through addition of selective agents. YM Agar should be sterilized without pH adjustment and sterile acid added to the sterile molten medium cooled to 45–50°C. Acidified YM Agar should not be heated. Antibiotics may be aseptically added to the sterile media. Other fungistatic materials, such as sodium propionate and diphenyl may be added to YM Agar to eliminate molds and permit the enumeration of yeasts in mixed populations.
