Used in microbiology laboratories for the cultivation of fungi, especially for inducing sporulation in certain filamentous fungi. The addition of Tween 80 (a surfactant) helps in the uniform dispersion of fungal spores and promotes better growth and differentiation. Corn meal provides essential nutrients and complex nitrogen sources that support fungal development. This medium is particularly useful in the identification and maintenance of yeast and fungal cultures, including species of Candida and Aspergillus, due to its ability to enhance morphological characteristics.
