Used primarily in microbiology laboratories for the cultivation and identification of mold species. Supports growth of various filamentous fungi and yeast from environmental, food, and clinical samples. Commonly used in quality control testing in pharmaceuticals, food, and indoor air quality assessments to detect fungal contamination. Enables observation of colony morphology, spore formation, and pigmentation for accurate species differentiation. Often employed in incubation studies to assess mold growth under different humidity and temperature conditions.
