CZAPEK DOX AGAR

Fungi, including yeasts and filamentous species or moulds are ubiquitously distributed in nature. Czapek Dox Agar is a semisynthetic medium used for the cultivation of fungi, containing sodium nitrate as the sole source of nitrogen. This medium is prepared according to the formula developed by Thom and Church, which has a defined chemical composition. Czapek Dox Agar is recommended by APHA for isolation of Aspergillus, Penicillium, Paecilomyces and some other fungi with similar physiological requirements.
