CHROMOGENIC OGYE AGAR BASE *

Chromogenic OGYE Agar Base is a selective and differential medium, used for isolation and enumeration of yeast and molds from milk and milk products. It was originally formulated by Mossel et al. for the isolation and enumeration of yeasts and moulds from foodstuffs. Mossel et al. further added Oxytetracycline as a selective agent, which in a medium with a neutral pH gives increased counts of yeasts and moulds as compared to media having a low pH.
