Description |
This is the medium recommended by the Federation International Laitrere - International Dairy Federation (FIL-IDF) for the isolation and enumeration of fungi (moulds and yeast) in milk and dairy products. This medium has also been adopted by the DIN and ISO standards.
Medium relies its selectivity on the bactericidal action of Chloramphenicol which, due to its thermostabity, may be sterilized with the complete medium in the autoclave. Moreover, pH may be adjusted near to neutrality, and this fact allows the medium to be remelted several times without affecting its stability, selectivity and efficacy. Remeltings and overheatings may make the medium darker.
