Potato dextrose agar (abbreviated "PDA") is the most widely used medium for growing fungi and bacteria PDA has the capability to culture various bacteria and fungi found in the soil. This agar can be used withantibioticsor acid to inhibit bacterial/fungal growth. PDA is used in the food industry to test forfungi that can spoil food products. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry to screen for potentialantifungalagents in medications. Potato dextrose agar is a versatile growing medium for bacteria and fungi (yeasts and molds). This agar is used for a broad range of fungi but there are other agars that are more selective for specific types of fungi. These agars include but are not limited to malt extract agar andsabouraud agar. Malt extract agar is more acidic than PDA and is commonly used to cultivatepenicilliumspeciesSabouraud agar is also slightly acid with pH of 5.6-6.0 which is similar to PDA. محیط کشت با مشخصات فنی ذیل : 1000mL water (strained broth from 200g of infused potato into the water above) potatoes (sliced washed unpeeled) 20g dextrose 20g agar powder 5.60.2 final pH 25C temperature
