Fungi in Foods

Abstract
Five media, with added antibiotics, were compared for their ability to recover yeasts and molds from 31 foods. Overall, no significant difference in recovery was found among Mycophil, Plate Count, Malt, or Potato dextrose agars but all were superior to Sugar Free agar. On the basis of recovery of organisms, availability, ease of management, and cost, Plate Count agar with antibiotics is recommended for routine enumeration of yeasts and molds in foods.
