Supports the growth of a wide range of molds and yeasts due to its rich nutrient composition. Commonly used in quality control to detect fungal contamination in products. Also applied in research and industrial labs for isolation and identification of fungal species. Suitable for incubation at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures, making it ideal for routine microbiological testing.
